OK so it may be a lousy 12 degree and wet forecast in Melbourne today but spring is right around the corner – literally! Tomorrow marks the first day of spring, and whilst we might feel like we’re still in the middle of winter it’s the perfect time to start shaping up for summer. On cold wet days it can be hard to find the motivation and venue for exercise. Walking out doors is often a bit of a gamble with Melbourne’s changeable weather. But you can find plenty of things indoors to do to help you get in shape (and lifting that super-sized burger off the plate into your mouth doesn’t count).

How about dusting off the exercise bike or the Wi-Fit? You could put on a yoga or Pilates DVD or grab those weights out from under the bed and get going with some resistance training and floor exercises. Not floating your boat? You could always clean the house from top to bottom and then start on the garage (I bet the first suggestions are looking good now). It’s not overly important what you do on wet and cold days like today, what is important is that you get moving and stay moving!
