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.

    I love running in the winter! Ooh, but I also love Zumba during the wintertime, too- it’s fun to steam up the room and then go out into the chilly air!

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

      Favorite winter workout? Being butt-a*** cold and running outside so that I can later soakup that joyful feeling of finishing up while warm with my blood vessels all dilated and my brain happy to be oxygenated and full of endorphins!

  8. Anita on December 12, 2012 at 6:41 pm

    So cute! And I can understand your love for your scuba hoodie… they’re SO comfy!

  9. Diane on December 12, 2012 at 6:41 pm

  10. pearl on December 12, 2012 at 6:42 pm

    Strength training and workout DVDS during the winter months to stay warm and dry.

  11. Lindsay on December 12, 2012 at 6:43 pm

    Even though it’s cold, I still love my morning boot camp classes!

  12. Beth Landrum on December 12, 2012 at 6:43 pm

    Snowshoeing is a great winter workout! It’s also one of the perks of living in Colorado!

  13. Sarah on December 12, 2012 at 6:44 pm

    Hot yoga is my favorite winter workout. I feel like a new person every time I walk out of class. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hot yoga is the best winter time workout…warms you down to your core and as an added bonus you can pretend you’re somewhere tropical. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  15. Erin on December 12, 2012 at 6:45 pm

    Hot yoga and Fight Gone Mad are my favorite winter workouts!! Great giveaway!

  16. Robin on December 12, 2012 at 6:46 pm

    I don’t like the cold, so I stay inside – lots of yoga and Pilates DVDs, plus many miles on the treadmill.

  17. Chelsea on December 12, 2012 at 6:46 pm

    I love running on the treadmill and doing yoga!

    I love early morning winter runs!

  21. dagmar on December 12, 2012 at 6:48 pm

    Snowshoeing!! It is quite the workout if the snow is deep and the hills are tall.

  22. MK on December 12, 2012 at 6:48 pm

    and subscribed!

  23. Kate B. on December 12, 2012 at 6:49 pm

    Hi Gina! My favorite winter workout is hot yoga because it feels amazing to walk outside with well-stretched jello-legs in the cool brisk air after sweating it up in a sauna of a yoga room.

  24. Amie on December 12, 2012 at 6:49 pm

    Wow! What an awesome giveaway, I love jackets and absolutely anything under armour. My favorite winter workout is anything that burns off all the holiday goodies I eat! Even though I’m in Arizona as well, I’m a weenie with the cold (even though its not that cold!) so my runs are put off & I stay in doors to do my favorite workout DVDs, Bob Harper & Jillian Michaels are my fave ๐Ÿ™‚

  25. Victoria on December 12, 2012 at 6:49 pm

    I still love running outside, but spinning in the winter is probably my favorite ๐Ÿ™‚ That jacket looks so cozy, great motivation for getting out of bed early when it is dark and cold outside!!!

  26. Amie on December 12, 2012 at 6:49 pm

    I also just subscribed to your YouTube, love it ๐Ÿ™‚

  27. Liz on December 12, 2012 at 6:50 pm

    HIIT training! I get warmed up fast when I’m cold ๐Ÿ˜‰

  28. Rachel Henry on December 12, 2012 at 6:50 pm

    My favorite piece of winter workout gear is my headband that keeps my ears warm, I can’t run with cold ears!

  29. Erin L on December 12, 2012 at 6:53 pm

    It’s weird but I love swimming (indoors) during the winter. I also get a good workout shoveling snow when we get it.

  30. Mackenzie on December 12, 2012 at 6:53 pm

    Although there are times I complain about the cold temperatures I am beginning to like running in the snow, the snow on the ground gives a bit and feels good on the body

    Subscribed to YouTube too ๐Ÿ™‚

  32. Julie @ Swim Bike Running on Empty on December 12, 2012 at 6:54 pm

    I love trail running in the snow! It’s so pretty you forget how cold you are ๐Ÿ™‚

  33. Brynn on December 12, 2012 at 6:54 pm

    Ice skating! I’ve been a skater since I was six years old. I still love the sport both indoors and out side during the holidays.

  34. Lizzy @ Lizzy Lives in LA on December 12, 2012 at 6:55 pm

    I live in SoCal and before that Phoenix, so winter workouts are pretty much my favorite since it isn’t too hot for anything! I love hiking and doing tough plyometric work outside in the nice cool air!

  35. Deborah on December 12, 2012 at 6:55 pm

    HOT Yoga!!! To warm up!

  36. Liz on December 12, 2012 at 6:56 pm

    I live in Maine and love winter running. The first few frigid runs take some getting used to, but it feels great to come in and be cozy after. When it gets too cold, I turn to Turbo Fire dvds which I got after seeing rave reviews here – you were right!

  37. thehealthyapron on December 12, 2012 at 6:57 pm

    great giveaway! My favorite winter workout us def kickboxing!!

  41. Kerry on December 12, 2012 at 7:05 pm

    hot yoga is the cure for freezing cold Canadian winters!

  42. Lisa on December 12, 2012 at 7:05 pm

    I love interval treadmill workouts.

  43. Olviya@servingsisters.com on December 12, 2012 at 7:05 pm

    I love doing any kind of HIIT workouts and getting hot/sweaty because when I walk outside the cold feels so good!

  44. Lauren on December 12, 2012 at 7:05 pm

    I love myself a nice cold run, but I also can’t wait for it to snow so I can break out the snowshoes! Definitely my favorite cold weather workout!!

  45. Olviya@servingsisters.com on December 12, 2012 at 7:05 pm

    Your lulu hoodie is adorable! And I just subscribed to your channel:D

  46. Addison on December 12, 2012 at 7:06 pm

    I love doing jumproping in the winter because it’s great cardio that you can do indoors if you don’t have a treadmill ๐Ÿ™‚

  47. Lisa on December 12, 2012 at 7:08 pm

    I”m a subscriber to your channel!

  48. Melanie on December 12, 2012 at 7:08 pm

    I love a good power yoga session in the winter. Gets me warm without being drenched in sweat so I don’t freeze as soon as I go outside!

  49. Lisa on December 12, 2012 at 7:09 pm

    Favorite winter workout is spin. I live on the East Coast where it gets cold and snowy in the winter so I get outside to run as much as I can but when I can’t – spinning is a great workout!

  50. jcd on December 12, 2012 at 7:09 pm

    definitely hot yoga!
