Warm Up with Cool-Weather Workouts
Dress for comfort
- Keep your feet cozy with warm socks, weatherproof shoes and supportive insoles
- Wear layers of clothing to wick away moisture, insulate and protect
- Don’t forget hats, gloves and scarves if it’s very cold
Look at the bright side
- Being outdoors is a great way to get some Vitamin D
- There’s no heat or humidity to deal with – just cool, crisp air
- Exercise boosts immunity during cold and flu season
Take it inside if it gets too cold for comfort, try:
- Indoor circuit workouts
- Yoga or other fun group classes
- Active housework such as power vacuuming
Have fun with cool weather activities such as: jogging, hiking, snowshoeing.
