However, incessant rains in some regions of India could make mornings dull for some people, as it may not be possible to step out for a walk or the parks may be filled with water and dirt.

This, of course, doesn't mean that there is no way to burn those extra calories accumulated by a plate of pakora or samosa. Indoor exercise can help your fitness routine stay on track. One of the ways to motivate yourself to stay fit is to count your steps. The target of 10,000 steps is usually followed by fitness enthusiasts and this could be achieved from the confines of your house.
