Welcome to Readers’ Workouts, the weekly event where book lovers share workout stories, goals, successes, and challenges.

The snow system that’s hitting the East Coast today came through here as a rainy day with a drop in temperatures. I took the opportunity to do one of the eight strength-training sessions I promised myself this month. Once Upon a Time, the TV show, provided my entertainment. I warmed up with a mock sword fight, mimicking the characters’ moves. Squats, lunges, and crunches don’t take any special equipment. I have 5-pound dumbbells to work the upper body.

Do you have to do one or more of your workouts at home this week due to the weather? What sort of things do you do when you can’t get out to the gym or outside to walk or run?
