A rainy day is no excuse to miss your workout -- at least, that's what Jacki told us recently. Sure, you'll want to stay indoors if there's thunder or lightening, but a light drizzle shouldn't keep you from your morning run. Just make sure you take a few precautionary steps -- wear a light, breathable rain jacket and make sure your footwear is water repellent. Also make sure to protect your gadgets -- you wouldn't want to soak your trusty iPod!

So are you willing to work out in the rain?

Last week, we asked you if you exercise backwards, despite our fitness expert advising against it. Here's what you had to say:

• 34 percent said no -- why bother going in reverse?
• 30 percent said yes -- you like to switch things up.
  
• 20 percent said definitely -- it gives you a better workout.
  
• 16 percent said sometimes.
