It's important to have a set of exercises that can be done EVERY DAY, regardless of weather. So there is no excuse NOT to exercise on a particular day!
Exercises that can be done indoors, or outdoors. Exercises that don't require any special clothing, equipment, or special setting.
One should have a set of core exercises which can be done indoors, and outdoors in all kinds of weather, during every season.
One doesn't need a lot of different types of exercises, just some one knows how to do very well, almost without thinking. Just keep doing them, over and over, as a regular habit, during every season, indoors and outdoors. Not just during good weather. During bad weather also. Helps acclimatize the body to all sorts of weather changes. Strengthens body's endurance, and ability to adapt to all types of external weather conditions.
Stale indoor air, full of carbon dioxide, can make one sleepy. It's important to "air out the body" regularly by exercising outdoors and breathing fresh air.
I always feel better, "more alive," after I exercise - - especially outdoors, in fresh air.
I began doing some of these exercises when I was a teenager. I've continued doing many of these deep-breathing, chi circulating (Chi Kung type) exercises, on a daily basis, for 40+ years now. I turned 57 at the end of April 2008.
These daily exercises continue to help keep me healthy, flexible, and full of energy.
