What are some good exercises I can do when I'm indoors?

It's raining today, and as much as I want to go out and jog, I'll get soaked- Are there any good exercises I can do when im not outside?

All i have are two 40 pound dumbbell weights- I don't have a stationary bike or anything...I have Comcast, which as an exercise channel, which is good....

What are some good indoor exercises for the fat guy trying to get fit again?
Running in place?
Sit ups?
Jumping jacks?

I have to lose 80 pounds to get back to my running weight- and probrolly 10 more to be fit enough to run a marathon...

You should buy a stationary bike, an elliptical, or a treadmill
in order to do indoor CV exercise. To do weigh training,
you should have more dumbbells of different weights.
two 40 pound dumbbell weights may be too light for bench press but too heavy for bicep curl.

Not the question you asked, I know, but a baseball cap, good socks, and liberal use of body glide is the recipe for running in the rain.

Sure...along with a water proof jacket. I ran in a horrid rainstorm the other night, and I had fun and was very comfortable.
