Whether you are an experienced fitness enthusiast, a newbie to the workout world or an athlete, no one wants to workout when the weather’s bad. Rain, snow, hail and low temperatures with heavy winds can all hinder someone from going to the gym or doing an outdoor workout, especially here, at Willy P. So here’s a list of workouts that are dorm friendly so you can still exercise but don’t have to freeze on the way to the gym.
*All of these workouts can be done without weights, however, for increased difficulty you can add your own weights if you have access to them.* (See below for weight substitutions).
