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 much prefer the gym in the winter (my state gets pretty darn cold in winter months) but I still do like to walk my dogs around our neighborhood- both are 100 lb dogs so it can still be quite the workout!
I love running outside when it’s cold out; it is so much more enjoyable when you don’t have to deal with heat and humidity.
My favorite winter workout is going for a long run in the snow at night, it’s beautiful and silent.
I have a great yoga for cardio I do in my living room when it’s too dark/cold to get exercise outside.
Favourite winter workout is a sweaty session of hot yoga, and Ginas Winter Shape ups! 🙂
My favorite winter workout is Zumba!
I already subscribe to your YouTube channel!
I live in phoenix so I love to hike during the winter since the weather is finally bearable!
I think my favorite winter workouts are a pilates or yoga class. There’s something nice about getting your muscles warm without getting too sweaty when its freezing out.
I actually love running in the winter… perfect for that hoodie! Haha
I enjoy some quality time with Shaun T.
I am already subscribed to your YouTube channel 🙂
I like to run outside if its not too cold. Otherwise weights, yoga and treadmill running inside!
Yoga is by far the best winter workout, ever!!
Ana
Compression socks!
I have to take it inside when it gets cold… I’m a wimp with cold weather! So I usually rely on workout videos, or the “dreadmill.” 🙂
My favorite winter workout is actually hiking in LA. Sometimes it gets too hot for me to hike in the summer!
I already follow you on Youtube! Love your new Zumba workouts!
I love running and going to a hot yoga class when its cold out. I love the feeling of cool air on my flushed face after a work out!
Hot Yoga! It’s a must during the cold, rainy Seattle winters!
Zumba!!!!

When it’s cold I love to take spin classes. I always leave feeling amazing.
I love running in the cold weather! Call me crazy, but I run so much better when it is cold compared to when it is hot.
Even though I live in wisconsin my favorite work out is ALWAYS outdoor running. Even if its 20 degrees out! (I do debate going when it’s less than that, then its just not fun). I have an underarmour sweatshirt and i LOVE it, a second one is on my christmas list!
Yes I am subscribed to your channel!!
Ice skating!
i love running in cold weather, but only when it’s light out.
Group Power and Group Ride! I love taking classes in the winter time because they still make me happy during dreary rainy months here in Oregon. Plus, I love the positive energy and staying happy during depressing months with fitness friends 🙂
I do most of my workouts in the gym – so nothing really changes once winter hits! but i do love to skate, so i guess that counts as my favourite winter workout 🙂
My favorite winter workout is skiing.. I live in New England so it’s a great activity to make the cold months go by a little quicker!
I like to run in the afternoon during the “cold” winters in San Diego.
Ice skating! It may not be of a high intensity, but I figure going for 5 hours straight (I could keep it up all day) I’m burning enough calories to consider it a workout! :p
I’ve always been a swimmer, so that is my favorite “all-season” workout. Although, running has been working it’s way up my list…even in cold, snowy weather!
. . . aannnd I’ve been a Youtube subscriber of yours a while now.
I love to run in the winter. The colder the better, because I never feel like I’m going to overheat & the cold air in my lungs feels so invigorating.
Hoodies are definitely a MUST in Duluth, MN, and I love adding them to my collection. After a workout rut at the start of this year, I strived for a month to stay consistent with workouts. My goal at the end? A lululemon Scuba hoodie!
Now my favorite winter workouts are cardio and short strength workouts; just trying to get a burn in! This year I’m hoping to amp up strength, and start training for my first half-marathon! This would definitely help with winter training!
And I’m a NEW subscribed for your channel, and really hope I will start to put it to great use!
Running! It feels so good in the cool air.. at least in 60 degree SoCal weather 🙂
I have discovered Spinning this winter and cannot get enough!
Spinning and weight lifting!!
Chicago winter’s are horrible so I love taking indoor cycling classes!
Just subscribed! And! Making snow angels with my 3 year old neice is the BEST workout. <3
Cycling in the snow, isn’t so bad when you have the right gear and tires!
SKIING! or skating. love them both 🙂
I like a nice, hot yoga class during the winter.
Snowboarding and kickboxing classes! 🙂
Running outside! It’s so hot for 9 months of the year here in Texas, that winter is the BEST time to run outside!
I just subscribed!
I love weight lifting and yoga in the cold winter!
When it’s cold out (which, here in my part of CA, means about 40F), I LOVE doing sprint workouts! Throw in some chin ups, jump squats, and ab work at the end…bam, full body workout plus HIIT, all in about 45-50 minutes.
