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.
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.
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.

My favorite winter workout is the NYE 5K race my friends and I run each year. The race gun goes off at midnight, and it helps get the new year off to a much healthier start than most other NYE activities. 🙂
I also just subscribed to your YouTube channel.
Living in windy, cold Chicago, a fleece headband is essential for outdoor runs in the cold. When my ears are warm, it definitely helps on my runs. A toasty pair of mittens is also a must-have, too.
During the summer months I do yoga by necessity — to stretch out my poor runner’s legs. But during the WINTER, hot yoga becomes a FAVORITE workout…. cozy and challenging at the same time!
Honestly – I hate being cold! Running on the treadmill in winter works best for me!!! 🙂
my favorite winter workout is a toss up between hot yoga and at home circuits that I can customize to my liking.
Recently my favorite workout has been the TRX workouts. My company recently invested in some of the straps and I love that you can get an all-in-one workout with just those straps!!
I am also a subscriber to your YouTube channel 🙂
I love to run outside when its a little chilly. Then come home and warm up with some yoga to stretch it all out.
you’ll be happy to know my favorite is probably zumba! up in new england, i much prefer staying indoors in the snowy, cold winter, but get too bored just wasting away on cardio equipment!
I’m already a YouTube subscriber, but my favorite “winter” workout in Texas is running- it’s the only time of year the weather’s nice for it!
If I can get up north, I absolutely love skiing…so much fun, and oh so sore the next day!
Just subscribed to the YouTube videos.
I love playing hockey in a ladies league that I belong to. I look forward to it every winter!
Cross-country skiing! Can’t wait for there to be enough snow here to start going. Subscribed to your channel (tashalotr) 🙂
Love the Zumba videos by the way!
Just subscribed and I’m loving your videos~
I like to do dvd workouts in the winter because it gets pretty cold in Iowa.
My favorite winter workout is a good old fashioned interval workout on the treadmill! But I’m trying to run outside more so I’d love to win a jacket that would make it easier!
In winter, I like to get back into running (& dancing at home, which isn’t ever planned, but I can get stir-crazy being inside as much as we are in the cold and long, dark evenings). I’m already subscribed to your youtube channel 🙂
I’m a big enough klutz walking on my own two feet, but for some reason, I’m a fairly decent ice skater and LOVE to skate around either indoors or out, during the winter months – here in Massachusetts that can feel way longer than normal some years. I always feel sore in a good way after ice skating, and it’s a workout in and of itself just trying not to dodge small children skating laps around me!
I subscribed to you You Tube!! Thanks!
It’s never that cold in Little Rock, so I still really enjoy getting out and jogging/walking as often as I can!
At home workouts!
* running in the snow! *
Running! I love running along the water and seeing all the Christmas lights.
My favorite winter work out but be body pump or anything indoors lol don’t care much for the cold 🙂
My favorite winter workout is Tabata, short and to the point. And it keeps me warm! 🙂
I love to just go to the gym and get a good HIIT workout in. I tend to stick to running outside during the warmer months.
My fave is running! Nothing beats bundling up to run outside!
I love finding workouts online in the winter so I don’t have to walk to the gym in the snow! I always love zuzana’s quick workouts and often search YouTube for other gems.
You inspired me to ask for Zumba for Christmas, and since we’re traveling for the holidays, I got it early! I’m ADDICTED…. So now that’s my fave winter workout!
P.S. I’m already a subscriber to your YouTube channel 🙂 Thanks for fueling my indoor winter workouts!
I actually really love cold weather running! Good thing since I will be training for a half marathon this winter! This hoodie looks so cozy 🙂 I love my scuba too, I pretty much live in it from Oct. to March 🙂
All time favorite is running outside. I love the smell of winter!
I am a YouTube subscriber as well! (Chu.beth(at)gmail(dot)com)
I love a good group fitness class or circuit workout DVD I can do at home. I’m not so much a lover of exercising outdoors when it’s freezing/snowing outside!
I just recently started doing Zumba, and I love it!
My favorite winter workout is indoor cycling! I recently got my spinning certification, so I’m a little obsessed with coming up with classes and playlists at the moment 🙂
My favorite winter workout is skiing…but since I moved away from the mountains this doesn’t happen very often. My favorite winter activity is watching my 9 year old son play hockey even if the rink is freezing!
Just subscribed!
My favorite winter workout is ice skating!
love stopping by the indoor swimming pool! just have to make sure my hair doesn’t freeze after!
I love a brisk run on a cold winter afternoon!
PLUS I subscribe to and LOVE your youtube channel 😉
Running on the treadmill, i hate the cold. But maybe if I win the jacket I will try running outside 🙂
My favourite winter workout is snow-shoeing around our 160 acres in northern Alberta, Canada.
I subscribed to your YouTube channel 🙂
I never thought I would say this but its cold weather running! something about the chill in the air, especially on a bright sunny day, that is so calming!
My favorite winter workout is going to the gym! 🙂 It’s hard to be motivated to take fitness classes/lift weights, etc inside during the warmer months, so exercising at the gym is a plus of the cold, short days of winter.
My favorite winter workout gear is a patagonia neon green down vest! No matter what the temperature is or whether it’s dark or not anybody can see me from a mile away and I’m always cozy. It’s also super slim so I don’t feel like it’s adding extra bulk. This hoodie would be great for me, my current winter hoodies are years old and need replaced badly!
Woops! I thought you said workout WEAR! Well to add to that my favorite workout is running outside 🙂 I feel dumb now..haha
My winter workout is any Jillian michaels workout… Currently doing body revolution!
Following you on Youtube!
My favorite (and least favorite) winter workout is a chilly run in the Minnesota cold!
I hate the workout while I’m running in the snow, but feel AWESOME afterwards. Usually I only get myself to do this a couple times a winter, so when I do, the payoff is priceless.
I would love a warm hoodie to get me through those runs! 🙂
