Hey sorry to hear about the weather. But there is good news, cardio can be done anywhere even without equipment...Anything that gets your heart rate up is considered cardio, so you could walk on and off of your steps for a set amount of time, do jumping jacks, even walk around your house and clean. It can range from a lot of different exercisesm you just gotta put your mind to it and overcome that weather!

Something that comes to my mind is what my gym teacher called a "slice of heaven". Basically you start of with 20 jumping jacks, 20 sit ups, and 20 push-ups. Then it's 19 of each, then 18 of each, and so forth until you get down to one. You basically work from 20 to 1 with out stopping. If that doesn't get you sweaty, I don't know what will.
