If you’re in Dallas-Fort Worth, you already know the drill. One ice storm hits Texas and suddenly:
roads shut down
gyms close
schedules fall apart
But here’s the truth: missing workouts during an ice storm isn’t inevitable. With the right plan, you can stay active, keep your momentum, and even come out of this weekend feeling stronger, without stepping foot outside.
This guide shows you exactly how to work out from home during the DFW ice storm, including a 3-day, 45-minute bodyweight-only workout plan you can do safely in your living room.
Why You Should Still Work Out During a Texas Ice Storm
When cold weather hits, most people go fully sedentary. That’s when:
stiffness increases
energy drops
motivation disappears
Light-to-moderate movement during winter weather helps:
maintain circulation
support immune function
reduce stress and cabin fever
preserve strength and conditioning
The goal isn’t max intensity, it’s consistency.
Home Workout Safety Tips (Ice Storm Edition)
Before jumping in:
Clear a non-slip area (yoga mat or carpet preferred)
Wear athletic shoes or grippy socks
Keep water nearby
Focus on controlled reps, not speed
