Monsoon Fitness Tips for Residents of Flats in Trivandrum

Posted onJun 17, 2025

Are you wondering how you will get your daily dose of exercise in this torrential downpour we are facing because of the monsoon because you live in a flat? What if we told you that you don’t have to miss your morning walk, your evening jogging or cycling sessions? You heard us right! You can do all of this, and a lot more, right at home. With a little bit of creativity and planning, there are a number of effective workouts you can do in your apartments. 

Cardio in your Apartment

Cardio is an important part of any exercise regimen, as it ensures that your heart pumps properly, enhancing your metabolism. So even if you can’t go jogging in the park or the beach, you have to look for ways to get that same workout at home. It’s not difficult at all. Here are some tips for staying fit and active in your apartment. Do spot jogging, jumping jacks, high knee touches, and mountain climber exercises. Not only will these exercises help you burn calories fast, they will ensure that your heart gets pumping seriously. 

If you want to make it fun, why not shake a leg? Put on your favourite music and boogie those evenings away, or do some shadow-boxing with a Jackie Chan movie playing on the TV! If your apartment building has a gym, run for a while on the treadmill, or jog a few laps inside the clubhouse. If there’s a queue to use the machine in the rainy season, just do a few laps in the corridor. You always have your own apartment to do those exercises we just told you about. 

Spot Jogging

Spot jogging involves jogging without moving forward; you stay where you are, but mimic jogging actions. Raising your legs high every now and then and swinging your arms can help you turn this workout into a high-intensity one. This will also help your entire body to get a proper workout.

Skipping

Skipping is a simple yet extremely high-intensity cardio workout that gives many benefits. You don’t need any fancy equipment, just sufficient space to swing your rope. Remove everything in the path of the rope’s swing, and make sure there are no low-hanging lights in the area.

Readying your Apartment for Working Out

Most people usually worry that the apartment is too small a place for them to work out and thus they will have to lose out on exercising in the rainy season. Even if you don’t have a huge living room, or have heavy furniture that you find difficult to move, you can still have a workout by doing spot jogging and knee raises; push-ups, planks, squats and lunges can also be performed in minimal space. All these exercises can be done without any equipment at all. But if you have the space, or if it’s possible to move your furniture, you can work out with an exercise ball, dumbbells or kettlebells.  

Use Furniture

You don’t even need to invest in any equipment. Pick up one kg or 5 kg packs or rice, pulses, atta etc, to work out your biceps and triceps. Use armchairs, the edges of tables, or even the bed if you can, to do dips and similar exercises. Working out your body is important in the monsoon, because the body tends to get depressed otherwise. This kind of strength training can help increase muscle mass and bone density, enhancing joint health and posture.

Safe Workout

It is essential to ensure safety when working out. A quality yoga mat is essential to minimize risk of injury. Especially so if your floor is slippery. Move the furniture out of the way and clear out the clutter. Make sure you warm up well and cool down properly, stay hydrated, and eat nutritious food.
