In New Rochelle, coach and athlete Anthony Briggs was spotted at Glen Island Park disregarding the rainy weather with a workout.
“I’m a coach for Vertex High School, so I always motivate my kids to do extra, so I have to lead by example," Briggs said. "No days off."
Briggs said he'll work out in all types of weather and wants to inspire the kids that he coaches to do the same.
"I've been training since I was probably in seventh grade, so the weather doesn't affect me. It's a mindset," Briggs said.
