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 fave winter workout is definitely Zumba! It may be cold outside, but Zumba keeps me hot! 😉
My favorite winter workout would be bodyrock!
My favorite winter workout is hiking. The woods are just so quiet and peaceful in the snow! Now…we just need some snow here!
I also subscribe to your YouTube channel, loving the zumba clips!
My favorite winter workout is….anything in the gym where it is warm! haha! But this hoodie would keep me warm walking to the gym 🙂
My favorite Winter workout is alwaysss spin! But, if it’s snowing and I’m stuck inside I like online workouts, like Blogilates or Zuzana’s workouts.
I’m all subscribed to your channel!
I really do love winter, I love to get out in the brisk air and run, it just always seems so much more peaceful to me.
I love Turbofire in the winter. Its a great workout, and I can exercise indoors. I also love treadmill runs when watching Parenthood….it makes it bearable. 🙂
My favorite winter workout is a combo of strength training and cardio at the gym!

My favorite winter workout is running (or snowball fights, haha)
My favorite winter workout is running!
Fave winter workout- sledding! It becomes a great workout when you have to haul your butt AND the sled back up the hill! If there isn’t any snow (a rarity in Chicago!) then I love a good spin class!
Love the runder under pants from lulu!
Definitely love hot yoga during the winter! But this hoodie would also be perfect for keeping warm while trying to wear my out energentic blue heeler on long runs 🙂
My fav winter workout is weights + cardio. I typically dont have more than 1hr to spend at the gym to I break it down to 30min weights (1-2 body parts at a time) then 30min elip or treadmill.
I live in a warm place, so winter is definitely the time to get outside and finally enjoy some cooler temps! We particularly like hiking and trail running.

My favorite winter workout is hot yoga all the way!
My favorite winter workout is bikram yoga, it warms me up!

Favorite winter workout is running outside! I live in Florida so its a wonderful change to run in 50* temps!
Running…but not when its toooo cold 😉
Fave winter workout…hmmm…running! And getting the change to run outside in South Florida without wanting to pass out!
Running at night in my neighborhood! Everything is quiet and the air is perfect!
Besides breastfeeding (thank you for the extra 500 calories!) and doing squats all day by picking up my “big for his age” 6 month old, my favorite winter work out is running outside with our BOB (and baby). We have a neighborhood loop that we try to do every other day during the rare sunshine (from the PNW). On off running days, I try to eat healthier and do either a Jillian workout video or pilates.
I love hot yoga and spinning!! Although it doesn’t get very cold here in SoCal… 🙂
My favorite winter workout is road cycling in the fog. We live right by the beach in Southern California, and I absolutely love biking in the fog. It’s probably not the safest workout ever, but everything seems so much quieter and peaceful when its foggy out. 🙂
Similar to AZ, Texas doesn’t get too much of a real winter. But, I do love a nice, heavy leg workout inside on exceptionally chilly days.
I am a subscriber! And I enjoy running outside and circuit training indoors for the terribly cold days during the winter.
I’m subscribed!!
I love Hot Chilly’s micro elite tights!
I’ve been loving Insanity this past month!! It is super sweaty and I can do it from home with very little room and NO equipment!! Plus, no weatehr based excuses to not workout 🙂
My favorite winter workout is a nice walk or hike with our two labs. Their excitement always gives me an upper body workout too 🙂
and I’m a subscriber!
I adore yoga in the winter
Oooh, love that jacket! My favorite winter workout is my spinning class. When it gets to cold to run out I hit the gym a couple times a week for my other fav cardio burner!
Jocelyn in the STL
Running…but on a treadmill indoors while watching my fave shows 🙂
my favorite winter workout is running at the gym =)
My favorite winter workout is a nice, sweaty, kickboxing workout.
I love a 20-minute elliptical interval sesh followed by weights and stairclimber action. Never fails. 🙂
I am doing Turbofire for my winter workout at the moment. We are about to do our first station move together, so when we hit Virginia next month I am going to try out CrossFit for the first time and see what classes the base gym offers.
Zumba-ing in my basement!
Snow skiing would be my favorite winter workout, but living in Texas makes that next to impossible. Most practical winter workout is Strike at Lifetime Fitness!
