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.

  8. Jillian on December 12, 2012 at 3:08 pm

    I love running outside in the winter. It’s so much better than running in the summer. The brisk air feels amazing and I never get too hot.

  9. Monica on December 12, 2012 at 3:08 pm

    I like room-temperature yoga in winter. Room temperature yoga is still warmer than outside!

  10. Ashley on December 12, 2012 at 3:08 pm

    My fave winter workout is spinning – if that doesn’t get you warmed up I don’t know what will!

  11. Kristen on December 12, 2012 at 3:08 pm

    Fleece lined tights!

    My favorite winter workout… a run outside or a circuit type workout in the gym with cardio and weights! Thank you for doing this!

  16. Megan on December 12, 2012 at 3:09 pm

    Besides taking my dog on daily walks outside I tend to keep my workouts inside during the winter. I love your tabata workouts to warm me up!

  17. Kaylin Berube on December 12, 2012 at 3:09 pm

    I love circuit training or HIIT intervals at the gym where it’s warmer than my cold car on the cold New England mornings!

    Just subscribed to your YouTube channel too 🙂

  18. Ashley R on December 12, 2012 at 3:09 pm

    Ice skating!

  19. Amanda on December 12, 2012 at 3:09 pm

    Ooooh! This will come in so handy this winter, even just to stay warm when I’m not working out! My favorite winter workout is also my favorite all season workout–HIIT training. After you posted about it, I fell in love with interval training and want to step it up this winter! 🙂

  20. Meggie on December 12, 2012 at 3:09 pm

    I live in Minnesota so my favorite winter workouts are all indoors! I just started Insanity and I look forward to working out with Shaun T. Its quickly becoming my favorite now that the temperature has dropped!

  21. Karey @ Nutty About Health on December 12, 2012 at 3:09 pm

    That hoodie looks so cozy! I <3 hoodies.
    My fav winter workout is Zumba since it gets me warm fast, keeps me motivated & I forget about the crappy cold weather outside.

  22. Liz on December 12, 2012 at 3:09 pm

    Spinning! I get so hot and sweaty within 20 minutes I forget it’s winter!

  23. Laura on December 12, 2012 at 3:09 pm

    That jacket looks so comfy! I like to get in an extra work out by going snow shoeing, now if only we could get some snow where I am.

  24. Erin @ Girl Gone Veggie on December 12, 2012 at 3:09 pm

    My favorite workout of the moment is pilates.

  25. Nichole on December 12, 2012 at 3:09 pm

    I love spinning in the winter:)

  26. Whitney on December 12, 2012 at 3:09 pm

    Ohh great giveaway 🙂 I love doing a yoga workout DVD in the winter with the curtains open while it’s snowing – very peaceful!

  27. Moira on December 12, 2012 at 3:09 pm

    my favorite winter workout is running! any season it’s running!

  28. Julie on December 12, 2012 at 3:10 pm

  37. Eva on December 12, 2012 at 3:10 pm

    Since I live in Tucson, my favorite winter workout is a nice 3 mile run on the Rillito or Reid Park, then some body weight exercises afterward (pushups, pull ups,lunges, squats!). I’ve subscribed (chibieva)!

  38. Nikki on December 12, 2012 at 3:10 pm

    My favorite winter workout is simply a good long run on a crisp winter day. I start off thinking I’m going to freeze my butt off and ready to turn back home. By the time I’m done, the hat & sweatshirt have come off and I’m feeling warm…and I’m proud of myself for enduring the cold to get the run done.

  39. Courtney Kelly on December 12, 2012 at 3:10 pm

    Ice skating!

  40. Casey on December 12, 2012 at 3:10 pm

    Running in the snow is my favorite winter workout. I am pregnant this winter though…and after falling while running in snow with my first, I have strictly forbidden myself to run with precipitation on the ground.

  46. Morgan on December 12, 2012 at 3:11 pm

  47. paulina on December 12, 2012 at 3:11 pm

    My favourite winter work out is SKIING!!

  48. Katie Oz on December 12, 2012 at 3:11 pm

    My favorite winter workout is definitely hot yoga! I go year round, but it is far more pleasant to walk into a hot studio when it’s freezing outside.

  49. Lindsay on December 12, 2012 at 3:11 pm

    My favorite workout is up in Northern AZ….when a light coating of snow has fallen and the streets are super quiet. A few miles in that is amazing…very peaceful and such a nice break from the Phoenix weather!

  50. Sandra on December 12, 2012 at 3:11 pm

    My favorite winter workout is heading to a class at my gym! I bike there in the mornings and the cold weather really wakes me up and gets my blood pumping before class starts!
