By the way, the Shovelglove is awesome. Cracked me UP.

I had the same problem--I live in the bay area (SF area) and usually I run, but I was stuck in the middle of the month when it actually rains here (it's funny--I'm from the East Coast and when I first got here people got their panties in a bunch over a little rain and cold, but now I'm one of them!). I didn't want to run--cold AND wet is torture--so I went on Amazon to look for workout I could do at home that was really good. I found this one by Gaiam, this hippy-dippy eco-friendly, yoga-ey, pilates-ey, mother-earth-ey kind of company, so there's a bit of that with this, but it's called the Cardio Balance Ball workout with Tanja Djelevic, and I LOVE it. You need to buy a balance ball, though. But the ball's great because it works your core and gets your abs and legs in really great shape. It's more for women, though. Well...maybe. Depends on what you're looking for. Anyway, if you go to Amazon and type in "cardio balance ball" you'll find it. The instructor is AWESOME--not overly energetic, but positive and really cool.

She also has one out called Cardio Dance Fusion or something. Haven't tried it yet, but I do want to buy it.
