If you own a stationary bike, treadmill etc then you can do some longish walks and watch your favourite movie on Netflix.
Top Tip
When you use Whatsapp or talk on the phone, just walk-walk-walk. Really, this is so easy and it goes by in a jiffy.
I always use earphones, because I like to multitask.
So, when you are on call and walking, your hands are free.
Try carrying some light weights, and see if you are able to keep up with the intensity.
These are some effective workouts, that can be done indoors. But, it will be nothing compared to your swimming, or gymming.
Although, I personally believe it’s always better to stick to our routine and not look for excuses.
When it rains, all I want to do is have “chai” and fritters. I know, this is just the reverse of working out.
But, can we not eat the cake and keep it too ?
I think we can, so although I love to follow a fit and healthy lifestyle, I also like the idea of enjoying life.

You hit the nail on the head Z! I hate working out during monsoons. I don’t even go for walks! You’ve shared some great tips to beat those sluggish monsoon blues.
Monsoons are detrimental to exercise. I normally follow a walk/aerobic routine from Youtube – Leslie Sansone’s walk at home routines are my favourite provided of course that I am motivated enough.
Give me a reason and I am ready to find an excuse from doing workouts 😛 This post actually motivates me to try out things at home. Thanks for participating in the blog hop. Hope you had fun 🙂
Burpees are so awesome… killing but they get the job done. These are indeed great indoor workouts 🙂
The only exercise I do at home when it rains is laying flat on my bed 😛 Sliding the fun factor apart I think its time for me to adhere to what i decide on the previous night before going to sleep!
The rains are a good excuse to stay indoors, but I must research indoor walking. Thanks for the tips, Zainab.
That’s a great list and I couldn’t agree more. When I can’t workout – I try to get my steps at work. Walking up instead of calling or IMing people helps. Thanks for sharing and joining us on #WordsMatter.
I so needed to read this, especially that bit about walking while browsing the phone.
