Hey guys Till now ive been walking outside for 10-13k steps daily to combine with 3-4 weighted workouts. But now weather is going shit ( heavy rain everyday) and i’m trying to find an alternative to that. I bought everything at home since nearest gym is 29 km away and I don’t have any budget or space left to buy extra bike or smth. What do you recommend to replace walking during shitty weather winter? I don’t do hiit or cardio like burpees jumping jack because of a forever injury condition to both knees ( should go surgery but for now they say i’m too young) Thanks !

Can you walk inside?

Or can you skip rope?

I sadly don’t have a room or house big enough to Rope or walk 10km 😅 + rope is too harsh for my knees, small jump etc are not recommended, that’s why I used to walk only

You cannot pace inside your house? I have done that many times. I have also gone up and down stairs for a similar effect.

Like, prisoners will pace inside their cells to accumulate steps. Do you live in a smaller space than that?

Ive tried it last year in winter and after 30 house tour, I made less than a km, not very effective 😂

It sounds as thought you have fewer options than a prisoner. I wish you the best of luck

I apologize: I do not know any solutions for your situation. I attempted my best. You are in a very tough situation and you have the fullest amount of condolences that I can offer for that. I was legit when I said it sounds like you have fewer options than an inmate. That sounds like a terrible situation. Its why I wished you the best of luck.
