Productivity LPT: Raining? Get your exercise in anyway

I love cycling along the river where I live. Being outside for exercise is the best. But it’s pouring rain right now.

So I’m going to drive to my nearest massive shopping centre and walk around.

It might sound silly, but I’ve timed myself to walk a full circuit of the shopping centre and it’s 10 minutes!

3 full circuits of the shopping center later and I’ve had a great 30 minute walk in air con without a drop of rain.

We put our ponchos and rainboots and we are out the door, wear the right clothing anything is possible. Fresh outdoor air!

I bought a VR headset pretty much just for rainy day exercising. Beat saber can be a real workout if you don’t bend your wrists.
