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.

Fav Winter workout – gym time. When it’s nice outside I often run outside and then do other workouts at home, but when it is cold I am forced to go to the gym and then realize I like it there.
Love this jacket!!!
Definitely hot or power yoga! Warms you up in the cold winter!
Subscribed to your YouTube channel, don’t know why I didn’t to that sooner!
I also subscribed to your channel! I’ve seen all the videos so I’m not sure why I wasn’t already 😉
My favorite is a nice and sweaty TKB workout. It never gets boring!
Definitely a tie between running in the snow (when its not TOO cold out) and hot yoga – nothing like heating up when its cooling down!
I love running outside during the winter. It’s so much better than running in warm weather.
My Faveorite winter work out is cross country skiing, since it can only be done in the winter!

my favorite winter workout is yoga because it is a good way to ease my body into warmth
Yoga, I love it when it’s all snowy out and I’m in a warm studio.
I love running outside in the winter, it’s so much nicer than sweating the death! Also, I’m already a subscriber in Youtube 🙂
My favorite work out is cardio in the gym!

Yoga is my favorite winter workout. It keeps me happy!
My favorite winter workout was always cross country skiing – sadly I haven’t been for a few years!

I mean, if we’re doing snow, skiing! But we don’t have very good skiing here in the mid-Atlantic, so I’ll just say that I actually like running outside most of the winter. Mild = good!
My favorite winter workouts are definitely of the hot yoga variety – living in Chicago, it’s all about warming up and staying cozy!
I love running right after it rains, the fresh air and that smell are always amazing!

Right now, it’s Crossfit, but any workout inside is awesome in the winter!
I’m not a fan of the cold so I do a lot of insanity videos over the winter!
ZUMBA!! warms me up in no time

I’m a road cyclist (did my first century in august!) And with less daylight, I love perfecting my interval off season training and pedal stroke in spin class!
Treadmill pyramids – spurts at 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10mph, then back down – for two or three rounds. Beyonce always gets me through the sprints!
While in San Diego, “winter workouts” are never really too bad, but I enjoy hiking a lot more in the winter months because it means I’m much less likely to run into critters (i.e. snakes!)! 🙂
Bikram yoga!
Running outside is my favorite winter workout! It never gets too cold in Houston, and winter doesn’t last too long, so while it is here, I love to get outside and take it all in!
Winter workouts don’t mean anything since we’ve been stationed here on Guam! I still have to get up super early to beat the heat or go to the gym to take advantage of the ac-ha!
Running outside in the snow! Early morning runs when the snow is falling and the streetlights softly illuminate the world…stunning.
I am a winter running girl through and through! Although your December workout kicked my sore booty yesterday! 🙂
I live in Florida so it doesn’t get too cold here but I love walking outside in the winter months, its the perfect temp out.
I’m pretty partial to this workout here http://fitnessista.com/2012/12/daaaamn-girl-december-workout/ it makes every muscle burn!! I have a 9 month old and live in Seattle so in the winter time it is super hard for me to get outside for a workout. I love that I can do this one inside!
And I’m a long time subscriber to your youtube channel! Your silent zumba makes my heart smile
Yoga! It definitely helps warm me up and relax me after a long day at work.
I work out outdoors year round. I live in Los Angeles so that’s easy to do. The only time I go indoors for a workout is when it rains. I love trail running & boot camp and prefer cool temps over hot summer days. I love layers and comfy workout attire. I am always trying new things, like the arm warmers, and love to share other fellow campers.
My favorite winter workout is yoga! I love coming from the super cold wintery outside into a warm and cozy yoga studio and sweating it out on the mat.
And I’m a subscriber to your YT channel!
just subscribed to your youtube channel! Love it 🙂
My favorite winter workout is an afternoon run on a cool, sunny day. Or just working out inside (let’s be real, it gets cold in NE Ohio!)
Does climbing up the sledding hill count as a workout? 😉 Still a little kid at heart!
My favorite winter workouts are definitely interval treadmill and elliptical workouts. They make you so sweaty! ps. I’m a subscriber 🙂
Winter is when I pull out every single workout dvd I own. Also have been finding some good workouts on youtube lately!
i love hot yoga in the winter!

Snow skiing is definitely my favorite winter workout!
My favorite winter workout would have to be skating on the canal. Here in Ottawa we have the longest outdoor skating rink in the world at 7.8km long! it is an awesome workout, especially for the legs and butt!
