I'm in Michigan and in a similar boat. The weather is just horrible here in the winter. Cold, windy, snow, etc. I'm lucky to get outside for a walk once a month lately.

I'm looking into getting a treadmill for at home, but for now I find going to the mall a good option for walking. I'll literally walk the entire indoor perimeter for an hour non-stop. It's not ideal but it's a free way to get some walking in when the weather isn't cooperating.

I have the Leslie Sansone DVD , Walk at Home. It is 4 miles and you can do all or part. It is like having a treadmill, but I don't have to worry about falling off!

Some great ideas above! You can go to youtube.com and type searches for "chair exercise" .. they have some pretty good ones on there to follow.

I live in NJ and we are stuck with very cold winter now, however I did invest in a machine for indoors (gazelle edge), it was cheap and fits the level of activity I can do. I also spent a couple extra more on 2 lb dumbells and a stretch band, I use those for upper body exercise. One of our schools in town offer the use of their swimming pool for $4 to the community, so I take advantage of that as well.

I also do the walk away the pounds I have the 1, 2 and 3 mile one. It really makes you sweat.

I love mall walking! Great way to get exercise in a wonderful air conditioned environment. You'd be surprised the number of people that show up before the shops open just to exercise!

Do you have any type of game station? How about dvd? There are cardio, exercise and dancing dvds.

For some great fat burning and toning exercises. Do full squats, using your lower body you are activating over 200 muscles!! I do at least 50 squats a day. Make sure you go below parallel (you can you tube CROSSFIT squats)

Also on crossfit.com they have full exercise workouts you can do at home. Some are pretty intense, I love doing them. I am rv ing right now in Tampa Florida and the last few days I been doing my crossfit workouts.

Good Luck and if you have any other questions just ask!!! ;)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
