Just for fun: Frisbee in the rain (video)

Fitness, Motivation

We could all use more fun in our lives, and although this video is a little off-beat and different I think it's a great reminder for all of us to have a little more fun and get back in touch with our inner child. Frisbee is a cheap way to get moving, and it's been around forever -- in fact it just turned 50 last month! Plus it's a great way to spend time with your family, friends, and even your dog.

And remember, Frisbee can be played at whatever level you want -- you don't have to get as crazy as the guys in the video!

You can still run in the rain. Here's how

Fitness

Next time you awake to see that it's raining outside, don't do a little dance of joy -- you can still run when it's raining. You'll need to make a few changes to your running MO, but don't let a little rain stop you from your healthy habits.

Here are some suggestions from Fitsugar:
  • Wear a water-repellent top layer, like a rain coat, so the water doesn't weight you down
  • Avoid cotton shorts and cotton socks -- neither are very comfortable when wet
  • Waterproof your iPod with a zipper-top plastic baggy
  • Wear old running shoes, unless yours are waterproof
  • Wear sunglasses -- you might look silly but it will keep the water from your eyes
  • Don't run too close to the road -- you might get splashed by a car!
Of course, if there's lightening, stay at home and enjoy a day off from the fitness routine.
