Monsoon Fitness Tips for Residents of Flats in Thrissur

Posted onJun 12, 2025

The monsoon season is upon us, bringing much-needed relief from the scorching summer. Everything is lush green and the temperature is pleasant. However, one drawback is that you can’t go out for your walking, cycling, or jogging sessions. We all know how torrential the downpours can be in Kerala, causing you to stay indoors for extended periods. But as a fitness enthusiast living in a flat, you need not despair. You can continue to be fit and active with these effective workouts you can do in your apartments. As you will see, all you need is a little determination and some creativity.

Getting your Daily Cardio Workout

Cardio is essential to burn calories, get your heart pumping and boost your metabolism. If you think that you will have to miss out on cardio because you can’t go jogging, here’s a fun fact for you: you can easily get your cardio right at home. Here are some exercises you can do: spot jogging, high knee touches, jumping jacks, and mountain climber workouts can give your heart a good workout, and burn some calories to boot. 

Want to push it up a notch? Put on some music and dance away to your heart’s content, or do shadow boxing. If you have a clubhouse, jog a few laps inside, or in the A/V hall. Do you have a gym in your apartment building? Use the treadmill to get those steps in and notch up your cardio routine. Of course, during the rains, it may be difficult to get a free machine, as more people are likely to rely on the gym. But you can always work out inside your apartment, and it’s one of the best tips for staying fit and active that you can get.

Spot Jogging

Spot jogging is great for improving cardiovascular health. To add intensity to the workout, you can raise your knees high, and swing your arms as you do the spot jogging. This will also ensure a full-body workout

Skipping

Skipping is one of the best high-intensity cardio workouts that you can do. All you need is a skipping rope, and to make sure that when you swing it, there is nothing in the way.

Maximizing the Space in your Flat

Are you worried that you have no space in your apartment to work out properly? This is the biggest worry that most people have. But the good news is that you don’t need to have a large living room or expansive interiors to do the kind of workouts we are talking about. For spot jogging and high knees, squat, lunges, push-ups, or planks, you need minimal space, space enough to place your yoga mat also will suffice. You don’t need bulky equipment either. An exercise ball, dumbbells, kettlebells all this can be used in minimal space. Maybe all you need to do could be push some furniture away for the time that you need for your workout.

Using your Furniture

Don’t have any machines, weight, dumbbells or other equipment? No problem. Use your furniture: tricep dips with a chair, table or sofa, bicep curls with a 5 kg bag of rice or atta, or containers with pulses etc. can be easily performed at home. This exercise is especially great during the monsoon season when the body can get depressed. You can improve muscle mass and bone density with consistent strength training, and improve joint health and posture.

Safe Workout

It’s important to ensure your safety. A good quality yoga mat can reduce injury risk that can be caused by slippery floors. If there’s clutter in the room, be sure to get it out of the way. Properly warm up and cool down the body before and after working out, and stay properly hydrated. 

Conclusion

You can see that staying fit in the rainy season in Kerala can be easily achieved without much expense or planning. You just have to be sure that you want to do it. Living in an apartment does not mean that you have to give up on your fitness goals in the monsoon.
