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 winter hiking (in the snow) with the Bernese Mountain Dog that I watch. Nothing better than that! Cold makes her so happy!
It’s so cold and dark and snowy up in Canada this time of year but I find that I still need to get outside for my sanity! My favourite winter workout is skiing (downhill or cross-country) but I also still love running outside – as long as I’m dressed for the cold!
Aaaaaand I just subscribed!
My favorite winter workout is my arm workout I get when I’m stirring thick yummy cookie batter for the holidays! Does that count? No. Well, ok. I also enjoy running in the cold because I always warm up quickly and forget that it’s even cold….until I stop. Sweat+Cold=Freezing!
I would have to say that my favorite winter workout would have to be hot yoga! When it gets cold around here, I crave it… although not the whole running outside in the cold while sweaty part… hahaha
i am now a subscriber to your youtube!
My favorite outside winter workout is skiing, intense leg and core workout! When there isn’t snow, my next favorite workout would have to be ice-skating! so much fun and still a great workout! p.s. I already subscribe to your youtube channel; I am loving the zumba workouts and ab burners! (some of my fave inside workouts on a snowy cold day!)
favorite winter workout? bikram!
I am a fan of boot camps in the winter!
i also subscribe to your youtube page (and love it)
My favorite winter workout is running outside for a couple miles in the snow. It feels good to get the fresh air and I always feel like I accomplished something.
My favorite workout is playing outside with the kids in the snow! What is more fun than chasing them around and throwing snowballs!
Kid free… spin class!
my fav winter workout would have to be hot yoga! nothing beats the coziness of the warm studio in the dead of winter.
My favorite winter workout is a run outside. On cold days after my run I’ll put my chocolate protein shake in the microwave and have a (fake) hot chocolate to warm up. I subscribe to your channel! Love getting new inspirational ideas from you!
My favorite winter (and all year) workout is Group Power. 1 Hour or strength training really warms you up and gives you so much motivation!

favorite winter workout is sculpting my shoulders w/ straight up weights.
I love running in the winter. Something about that clean cold air and how still everything is just makes it so amazing.

For me, with snow and ice on the ground, I use winter for HIIT treadmill work-outs!
I love taking classes in the winter. My faves would have to be Spin and Body Pump 🙂
I actually love running in the cold. There is something about the refreshing bite of the cold air and the battle to push through. Makes the experience exhilarating!
Fave winter workout is bikram or hot vinyasa.. best way to warm up the soul!
My fave winter workout (after I get my booty out the door) is a run outside.

Favorite winter workout is a run outside (when it is not icy or snowy). Crisp air is so invigorating!
It get’s VERY cold where I live (about -35 degrees Celsius today) so working out outside isn’t always an option. On nicer days, snowshoeing is a lot of fun, and going sledding is a surprisingly tough workout (trudging up hills multiple times on ice? exhausting!). I get my workouts in by throwing in an Insanity DVD in the mornings or running on the treadmill while I zone out and watch TV. I’m nervously considering CrossFit and want to get into BodyRock once I figure it out.
Also, bicep curling big mugs of hot tea help.
I just subscribed to your utube channel! It looks awesome!
I subscribe to your YouTube channel, too!
My favorite winter workout would have to be tackling those hills to get warmed up and stay warm!
My favorite winter workout is a nice simple interval workout on the treadmill. Gets the job done:)
However, I wouldn’t mind some new winter running gear to get me out on those cold New England streets this year!
And I’m already subscribed to your youtube channel!
Cold weather runs are my favorite!
My favorite winter workouts are usually inside, however, I love hoodies for all the cold Midwestern months!!
I love running outside – especially when the snow is falling!
My favourite workout doesn’t change with the seasons, it’s always crossfit!
Crossfit! I joined with friends and when any of us are “too tired” after a long day at work, we pump each other up. Afterwards we’re so happy we ended up going.

A good run in the brisk outdoors!
Treadmill and spinning. I just bought under armour tights to attempt to run outside. Chicago winters tend to be brutal!
Walking the dog! It’s simple but I love taking it slow AND having a buddy 🙂
I always dread going out into the cold to run, but once I’m out there it’s always a great run! so much easier to run in the cold than hot!
I like walking in the snow when it’s at least a foot deep or so. Great cardio workout!
My favorite winter workout is a 5 mile run on a cold clear day. We have many of those here in Washington (the state) !! That hoodie would be awesome to wear!
I subscribed 🙂
my favorite winter activity is ice skating, I would go every day if possible!
