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.

    My favorite winter workout is spinning!

  3. Juliene on December 12, 2012 at 4:40 pm

    I love running in the winter, especially in the morning when it’s quiet, especially if it’s snowed recently. The snow makes everything so pretty and muted almost like you turned everything else down, it’s magical!

  4. Jenn @ Frost Bites on December 12, 2012 at 4:40 pm

    I love Zumba in the winter time — shaking my booty anytime of the year is actually FUN!

  5. alex on December 12, 2012 at 4:40 pm

    I like Ice Skating in the winter. I’m in Fl but am from MA so even though my ice skating is inside it makes me think of winters back home

  6. Cristin on December 12, 2012 at 4:40 pm

    I love skiing and ice skating! Its so fun that you don’t even feel like your exercising, but the next day your legs are like jello!

  7. megan on December 12, 2012 at 4:41 pm

    Fave winter workout:hiking, and if snow is on the ground, snowshoeing. Ice climbing is my back up.

  11. Alycia on December 12, 2012 at 4:41 pm

    Love that hoodie! I live in sweathshirts during the winter. Even better if they come with thumbholes!

  12. gloria on December 12, 2012 at 4:43 pm

    I love doing spin in the winter!

  17. Kori on December 12, 2012 at 4:44 pm

    It’s not strictly a winter workout but I love Tabata and any kind of interval training. I’ve been doing more and more intervals on the treadmill with the rain.

    I’m also a subscriber.

  18. Sarah (Shh...Fit Happens) on December 12, 2012 at 4:44 pm

    Favorite winter workout is yoga and zumba

  21. Lauren on December 12, 2012 at 4:45 pm

    Anything Turbofire, but especially the HIIT workouts. Gets you hot and sweaty so you can forget it’s -30 and snowing outside!

  22. Jesse on December 12, 2012 at 4:45 pm

    Favorite winter workout would have to be spinning since it’s too icy (usually) here in Southeast Idaho for road biking outside. Been following you for well over 2 yrs. I’m not much of a commenter, but I have learned from you in many ways, so thanks for the posts!

  23. cait on December 12, 2012 at 4:46 pm

    favorite winter workout is most definitely HOT yoga.

    Since it’s cold, I’ve been taking my workouts inside. I love a good hill climbing workout on the elliptical!

  28. Jessica on December 12, 2012 at 4:46 pm

    I love running outside in the winter, especially when it is snowing. I know, I may be slightly crazy for saying that lol.

  33. Dianette on December 12, 2012 at 4:49 pm

    Fav winter workout would have to be hot yoga, this hoodie obv wouldn’t be acceptable for that ๐Ÿ™‚ but I live in NYC and this would keep me toasty!

  34. Tessa on December 12, 2012 at 4:49 pm

    pure barre dvds are a good winter workout.

  35. Melissa on December 12, 2012 at 4:49 pm

  36. Cara on December 12, 2012 at 4:49 pm

    Love doing a quick Fitnessista HIIT, Tone it Up Girls, or Zuzana Light workout in my basement, then going for a run. Just subscribed to your channel, not sure why I never did that before today!

  37. Brittany on December 12, 2012 at 4:49 pm

    I love all workouts during the winter! So lovely to stop shivering and sweat for a couple of hours! ๐Ÿ™‚

  38. Tavolini on December 12, 2012 at 4:50 pm

    My favorite winter workout also happens to be my favorite summer workout–riding my bike 10 miles per day. I live in Georgia, so its easy to ride all year round, but that hoodie would be a perfect layer over my long sleeved shirt and under my vest. Thank you for sponsoring this give away ๐Ÿ™‚

  39. Laura on December 12, 2012 at 4:50 pm

    Favorite winter workouts are Jillian Michaels DVDs! And jump rope if I’m feeling energetic. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I live in Flagstaff, so I treasure any outdoor workouts I can do where I don’t risk hypothermia!

  42. Peach on December 12, 2012 at 4:51 pm

    In Seattle it seems like it usually stops raining at night, which is when I take my runs. I love being out on the quiet streets working off the stress of the day.

    …Liked your youtube page

  43. Sarah Z on December 12, 2012 at 4:51 pm

    I love walking/jogging outside and looking at the Christmas lights.

  44. Jill on December 12, 2012 at 4:51 pm

    I love running outdoors in the winter around this time of year dusk to see ask the holiday lights!

  45. Leslie Niemtschik on December 12, 2012 at 4:51 pm
