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.

I like hiking! Only in AZ is winter considered awesome hiking weather:)
Indoor cycling!
I love running in the snow! If it’s cold and rainy though I stick with an indoor circuit/HIIT. This hoody looks divine.
I love the 15 minute Tabata, core and legs.
Thanks for giving us the link I’m a suscriber now.
The UA jackect would be perfect for the cold Western NY winters here!
My favorite Winter Workout is a nice long run in the cool weather!
I love skiing in Tahoe during the winter! So much fun and such a great workout
I love hot power yoga!!!
I’m learning to love running in the winter!

Favorite Winter workout – running outside – feels so good! or Jillian Michaels DVDs!
A long run when it’s snowing is one of my favorite winter workouts! It’s so peaceful and beautiful to experience nature this way! I actually did this over the weekend…perfect way to welcome a Wisconsin winter 🙂
I’m not sure why, but for some reason I tend to take spinning classes more often in the winter. Maybe because they really warm me up quickly! I also love taking walks outside with my family on a cold, clear day. Thanks for this nice giveaway, Gina!
My favourite winter workout is walking the dog, or bouncing on my mini-trampoline. I’m already a subscriber to your Youtube channel 🙂

Fav workout: workout videos. So I can stay warm during the Canadian winter!
and my favorite winter workouts are any that are indoors here in Michigan! 🙂 Loving Insanity and Zumba though, as always
I’m a YouTube subscriber as of today!
My favorite winter workout is midnight soccer; a bunch of the dorms get together and organize, and we play at 11 at night in the dark. You can barely see the ball, but it’s a blast!
I subscribed to your channel! 🙂
PS Youtube follower!
Favorite winter workout is running outside because it doesn’t get TOO cold where I live and it’s perfect when the sun is shining!
MY FAV winter workout has to be snow shoeing! My backup is my home turbo workouts! Hopefully joining a gym that has classes soon!! 🙂
Subscribed too!! 🙂
Favorite winter workout is strength training!
Fave Winter workout: treadmill interval ladder run! Keeps the treadmill from getting boring and I’m sweating like crazy at the end.
Nothing better than a jog outside as long as it’s not blizzarding. So refreshing!
I still love all the same workouts, but if it’s too cold, I’ll run inside rather than out. I think I crave more yoga in the colder months though!
My favorite winter workout is an 18 mile run on the trail – I don’t have to worry about anyone lurking outside waiting for a lone woman to run by. He would be frozen!
my favorite winter workout is walking in fresh fallen snow (when it happens). there’s something so magical about being out in the snow once it’s all settled but before people start venturing out in their cars again! and for some strange reason, it feels like the snow insulates things and makes it just warm enough to be bearable!

Anything that is indoors! But if I’m chilled to the bone, hot yoga has a way of warming me up like no other workout.
Hiking in the snow…when there is snow, which isn’t as frequent anymore. Which is just as well, because I usually end up on my bum!
My favorite winter work out is strength training at home or the gym. I’m a wuss in the cold, so anything below 50 is usually “too cold” to run outside. I bet the hoodie would certainly help with keeping warm though!
I love all workouts during the winter!
i love my ear warmer. something about having your ears warm makes the rest of your body not seem so cold! I would love to win–I definitely need some comfy hoodies 🙂
Running is my favorite workout any time of the year!
Figure skating!
I subscribed to your YouTube channel, also!
Bikram all the way!!!!! Feels so good to walk into the hot room when it’s chilly outside – an so good to walk into the cold after a sweaty class!
And I’m a subscriber 🙂
During the winter time, I like to utilize my workout DVD stash. Turbo Fire and anything by Shaun T are my go tos!
The Scuba hoodie is one of my favs for Chicago winters too! I love trying new fitness classes and dvds in the winter… although Zumba is a favorite no matter the time of year!
I’m not a cold weather person so I stay in the gym durning winter. Weights, treadmill, the elliptical, and yoga will become my best friend this winter.
i love running in the cold, actually. so much fun gear with thumbholes to be worn!
My favorite witner workout is anything I can do inside! It gets pretty cold here in the mornings and although I have warm clothing for cold runs, sometimes I’m just not up for it. Some of my favorite at home workouts are the P90x Plyo workout, flow yoga podcasts (along with a great playlist) and last but not least…any of the circuit workouts from the fitness page here 🙂
OH! And I’m already a YouTube subscriber!
I love getting a good cardio workout on the treadmill while watching a cooking show. Gives me great inspiration for holiday meals!
Subscribed to your channel! And I hate being cold and its pretty dang cold in Eastern WA so I’ve been doing bob harper’s DVDs! Love them! And the results.
