I miss my dogs. They gave me no choice but to suit up and get walking even if it was -20 outside and we had to abbreviate the walks a bit. Three times a day plus brief outies in the back yard, rain, shine, snow, sleet, tempests… the Dogs must be Walked.
Still have a yard and chickens to keep up so there is always something to do.
Cover/uncover the plants on really cold nights
cut down the banana plants that froze this week
mow/pick up leaves
prep the garden for next year
clear the chicken coop of all the “black gold” (compost)
Pick up limbs, cut wood for fire pit
put out mulch/pine straw for plants
etc. etc. etc.
Gym. Lovely, wonderful gym. Where it is never too hot or too cold. Getting there is an issue occasionally, but I really love my gym and all the folks there. Signed - a once professional sofa slug, who discovered at the ripe old age of (XXXXX) that I actually like working out. (Plus walking the dog, but he’s a small fluffball who doesn’t like “weather,” so he’s like “let’s get this done, okay? Like now?”)
:wink wink: :nudge nudge:
@therealjrn
Say no more
@therealjrn are you insinuating something?
@therealjrn Do you alternate arms or just take on the fiddler crab look?
Shivering my ass off. Burns tons of calories.
@PocketBrain
An indoor bike. An outside bike is more fun, though not in the cold.
Shoveling snow.
YESSSSSSSSS—finally—yoga as an option!!! I feel seen! Unlike this little dog:
This is the time of year that I’m actually active outside. It’s the best. I’m already dreading the end of February.
Zwift. 70 miles a week… Sprinkle in some elliptical for when my legs are dead.
@JameTG That looks real doesn’t it?
@JameTG @therealjrn omfg, that’s terrifying even though I assumed it was fake.
When it’s cold out, I’m not active, I’m passive.
Same thing I do all year round - running after my kids!
It’s ski season! Elliptical to get myself in shape and double diamonds to burn some serious calories.
I don’t keep active often, but when I do…I use Beat Saber.
@goldnectar Had to Google. This is not a euphemism like I thought it was.
@DrWorm
oh you.
Gym membership and yoga, but all of that’s on hold while my stupid fractured ankle heals.

Pokemon Go is not a good substitute.

I ride bicycle and sweat a lot less.
I turn off the heat and shiver for a couple of hours.

Where I live cold is in the 40’s.
