Fave cold weather gear + a giveaway- ENDED

Welcome to Tucson, winter.

I have to say, I was a little bit excited when I pulled out my beloved purple Scuba hoodie this morning.

Hoodie

It felt so weird to easily zip it, instead of awkwardly trying to zip it over a large pregnant belly like last year, even though I do kinda miss the belly. I love the soft fabric, the cozy hood and the thumbholes, of course. While it never gets cold enough to warrant working out in a sweatshirt out here, it’s definitely one of my favorite cold weather pieces.

Also on the list: my new arm sleeves that I bought for the race a few weeks ago.

Race stuff

It’s a perfect way to keep warm, without having to commit to a long-sleeved shirt. You get too hot, you take the sleeves off and, in my case, stuff them in your shirt to give you some crazy-looking bumps.

I also love running tights, ear warming headbands and mittens when it’s time for outdoor workouts in the cold. As much as I love all of the extras, hoodies will always be my favorite! I adore so many different styles and brands.

My friends at Under Armour kindly offered to giveaway a fleece storm hoodie to a lucky Fitnessista reader, if you’re looking for an extra way to stay cozy during your workouts, or to and from the gym.

    Love yoga year-round, although I really miss going to yoga in the park!

  3. Tracey on December 12, 2012 at 10:59 pm

    Just recently went to a fitness center called Fitness Never Sleep! It can be viewed as similar to Crossfit, much harder than Crossfit and an amazing workout!

    Just a plain old run! The cold makes me go faster to warm up 🙂

  6. Olivia on December 12, 2012 at 11:00 pm

    I love hiking in the winter! The views are spectacular since all the leaves are gone. I always see things I never knew existed! Nothing like breathing in that cool, crisp air!

  7. Jessica P. on December 12, 2012 at 11:01 pm

    I love to run when the snow is really pouring down. When the snowflakes get in your eyelashes. Although cold, it is a beautiful time of year!

  10. Christina D on December 12, 2012 at 11:09 pm

    I am loving cooler outdoor temps for running lately. Although I don’t know if I’ll be saying that when its 20 degrees in January 🙂

  12. Alex on December 12, 2012 at 11:13 pm

    I when it’s freezing outside and your body gets all tight – then you go into a spin room, take a class, and it becomes a sauna…loosening everything up!

  13. Miranda on December 12, 2012 at 11:14 pm

    my favorite winter workout is weightlifting! keeps me nice and warm and my heart rate up@

  14. Mariah on December 12, 2012 at 11:20 pm

  25. Nicole on December 12, 2012 at 11:36 pm

    when i’m at work (i work overseas) it’s awesome because it’s not crazy hot (or even better if it’s raining!), or when i’m back home – i love the crunchy snow runs!!!!!! and how white it is and how beautiful!!!!

  26. Emily on December 12, 2012 at 11:37 pm

    I love running on the treadmill and figure skating at the rink!

  29. Jo on December 12, 2012 at 11:42 pm

    I love winter running outside! At least till it gets crazy cold here, then am good friends with the treadmill.

  30. Brittany on December 12, 2012 at 11:44 pm

  32. Kayla on December 12, 2012 at 11:51 pm

    My go-to winter workout is weight training in the gym. When it’s beautiful outside I spend all my time running, but when it’s cold I get back to the weights!

  33. Stephanie on December 12, 2012 at 11:52 pm

    Spin class!

  34. Jamie on December 12, 2012 at 11:54 pm

    anything that gets me warm and works up a sweat!

  35. Brittany on December 12, 2012 at 11:55 pm

    My favorite winter workout is sledding! It gets too cold here for me to ever want to workout outside but fun things are okay as long as I’m super bundled and stay warm.

  36. Amanda on December 12, 2012 at 11:56 pm

    I’m already a youtube subscriber! My fave winter workout is yoga! So relaxing when the snow is falling outside 🙂

  37. Monica on December 12, 2012 at 11:57 pm

    Anything indoors and out of the cold hahah!

  38. Lana on December 12, 2012 at 11:59 pm

    My favourite workout would have to be running on a crisp winter day!

  39. Betsy on December 13, 2012 at 12:00 am

  40. Mashhood on December 13, 2012 at 12:02 am

    My favorite winter workouts are hot yoga classes! Great workout PLUS it keeps you warm! 😉

  41. Lauren O on December 13, 2012 at 12:04 am

    Hot Yoga. Being super hot then walking out into the wall of coldness is awesome! Maybe that’s just me though 🙂

  42. lindsey on December 13, 2012 at 12:07 am

    I love to utilize the pool for laps when its cold outside. Nothing beats the heat and soothing comfort of an indoor pool!

  43. Jody on December 13, 2012 at 12:09 am

    Running first thing in the morning!

    my fav winter workout would be the good old treadmill and circuit training

  48. TanyaJay on December 13, 2012 at 12:18 am

    My fav true winter workouts are snowshoeing and snowboarding! They are the only things that keep me from hating a long cold winter 🙂

  49. Anna on December 13, 2012 at 12:22 am

    During the winter, I run outside once or twice a week (Nashville doesn’t get too too cold), but I definitely use the treadmill at my university a lot more (mostly because it gets dark outside too soon now!). I also like to take pilates and yoga classes offered through my school’s recreation center.
