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.

  32. Haley on December 12, 2012 at 6:29 pm

    My favorite winter workout would have to be one that can be done inside.. Something like: 20 rounds of 5 push-ups, 5 air squats, and 5 sit-ups would do the trick 🙂

  33. Arwen on December 12, 2012 at 6:29 pm

    I love your 5 minute workouts. It is done before you know it and effective. Totally feel it the next day.

  34. Nick Goodall on December 12, 2012 at 6:30 pm

    Running in the snow is awesome! I don’t know what it is, but it’s definitely something special. The only problem is that snow is never guaranteed, one can only hope here in the middle of the UK, it normally just turns to slush as well… :/

  35. Anna V on December 12, 2012 at 6:31 pm

    I run indoors on the treadmill or do a workout DVD.

  36. Tashina on December 12, 2012 at 6:31 pm

    I took a zumba class after watching your video and am now a fan! I love taking group fitness classes regardless of the weather as it can be so motivating to so many people in the room.

  39. Ashlee on December 12, 2012 at 6:34 pm

    Love winter running! Living in the south makes summer, humid running miserable, so I happily accept winter running.

  40. Dena on December 12, 2012 at 6:34 pm

    I love running outside. I don’t wear a lot of cold weather gear because I would generally rather be cold than hot, so I just power walk until I am warmed up, and then run.
