Keep Moving: Staying Active When It’s Rainy or Muggy

Many of us love working out outside — feeling fresh air, sunshine, and space to move. But rainy or muggy days here in the Valley can make it harder to get outside. That doesn’t mean your workout has to stop. In fact, staying active even in wet weather keeps your body strong and your mood bright.

Body Clues

On wet or humid days, your body might feel more tired or sweaty than usual. Notice these signs so you can adjust safely:

• Heavy, humid air can make breathing feel harder.

• Weather changes may flare up seasonal allergies.

• You might not have the right shoes or clothing for rain.

• Wet, muddy surfaces can make walking or running tricky.

Tips for Exercising in Rain or Humidity

• Indoor options: Try yoga, stretching, or a quick workout video at home. You can also march or jog lightly in your living room while listening to music.

• Walk safely: Even a short 10–15 minute walk in a light drizzle helps. Look for covered walking paths, indoor gyms, or malls.

• Timing matters: Exercise during cooler parts of the day, such as morning or early evening.

• Stay hydrated: Humidity increases sweat, so drink plenty of water before, during, and after activity.
