Wacky Indoor Workout Can Pep Up A Rainy Day

What do you do on a day when the weather stinks and you're tempted to fold into a cocoon and order mounds of Chinese food?

Try an indoor fitness video challenge.

Next time you see a cheap and silly video on sale, buy it and stick it on the shelf. Have your partner do the same. When there is a cold rain on a day you promised to work out together, pull out the DVDs and do both of them. Since you each chose one that solves the I-don't-want-to-do-what-you-picked problem. It also makes it more likely you each do something you're less comfortable with.

For example, "American Gladiators Ultimate Workout," features six characters from the television show guiding you through push-ups, punches, dumbbell exercises and variations on the theme, all while talking a lot about butts: kicking them, tightening them, etc.

It seems pretty insipid. But it's a lot better - and funnier - than running in the rain.
