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.

My favorite winter workout is anything that I can do indoors, in my living room! This winter that means the 30 Day Shred DVD. Over here it gets too cold to even want to leave the house to travel to the gym so staying indoors is key. That hoodie looks very comfy!
Definitley snowboarding…so fun but a great workout too!
My favorite winter workout is running outside!
I subscribe to your YouTube channel…yeah YouTube!!! (I work for Google)
It doesn’t get terribly cold where I live, but I really enjoy the chill on my skin when I run outside. My fav workout gear, no matter the season, is a hat or headband. I can’t stand hair in my face, especially when I’m working out and sweaty.
It’s soooo cold here (about -18C at the moment) so most outside workouts are truly out. But when it’s warm enough to be outside I like taking a walk in the snow or going tobogganing, which is such a workout when you have to drag your sled back up the hill a hundred times!
Also, I’m a YouTube subscriber!
Oooh, great giveaway!
My favorite winter workout is getting sweaty in a Turbo Kick class, but sometimes a crisp, cold run is just what you need! 🙂
I’m already a YouTube subscriber!
This winter I’m enjoying workouts with my trainer – mix of cardio & strength. But, I did really enjoy the crisp run this morning (though only in the 40s)!
I can never brave the cold, so my fave winter workout is INSIDE 🙂 Whether it be a run or a circuit workout.

I like the fresh air outside for a run in the winter!
My favorite winter workout is running still.
I’m a Youtube subscriber!!! 🙂
My favorite winter workout is strength training. I focus more on running while it’s warm outside, and it’s a happy surprise to start spring already toned up!
I like a warm sweaty yoga class in the winter!! Great release
My fav winter workout is the elliptical trainer. 🙂
Of course, while watching Netflix. <3
My favorite outdoor winter activity is definitely skiing. Love love love it. My favorite indoor winter activity is hot yoga. I live in seattle and on the dreary, long, cold winter days nothing give me a bigger pep in my step then feeling warm to my soul in the hot yoga studio.
A long weekend run in mid 30 degree weather on a snowy road.
My favorite winter workouts are Bikram Yoga and Spin. Hot yoga keeps me toasty when the nights get chilly and Spin is one of my favs no matter the season.
I love running…since I live in FL and it doesn’t get too cold, it’s perfect running weather with a jacket 🙂
Can snowball fights count as a workout?! My favorite winter workout is any workout i can get myself to do
My favorite winter working is definitely sledding or ice skating, so fun it doesn’t feel like exercise 🙂
Treadmill and free weights!
My favorite winter workout is doing intervals and hills on the treadmill! During the non-winter months I take advantage of every opportunity to get outside and run so during the winter months it’s nice to get back on the treadmill. I’m sure I’ll change my mind by the time February rolls around and I’m sick of running on the hamster wheel 🙂
Chilly morning run!!
Snowshoeing is my favorite winter activity. The workout is bonus. 🙂

I’m a winter runner! I’m only going inside if if sleeting horrible icy things outside!
I love running in the snow and then going inside to warm up with some free weights.
It doesn’t get very hot in Georgia, so I like running outside. It can be cold at first, but I start sweating and it’s perfect.
I enjoy going to the gym for a lift session, walking outside and getting a fresh breath of cool air. It’s invigorating. A super awesome hoodie would just add to that feeling. 🙂
Favorite winter workout is any type of cardio to keep me warm!
Running! I trained for my last marathon during the winter and was so afraid to do it in the cold, but loved it. I’m starting to train for another marathon in a couple of weeks and am trying to stock up on winter running gear – this would be the perfect accessory! Great giveaway! 🙂
My fave winter workout is definitely Zumba! (Well, realistically my all-year-round favourite workout is Zumba, but still… 😉 ) I also enjoy a good cardio kickboxing class to make me sweat. And I am already subscribed to your Youtube channel. 🙂

My favorite is running outside in the winter! I only live a few hours away from Tucson. 🙂
My favorite winter workout is snowboarding! My legs are always killing me the next day and it’s a great core workout too! It also has the added bonus of amazing scenery!
I love HIIT – it’s fast and easy to do inside, which doesn’t give me an excuse when it’s too cold or snowy here in Colorado. I like the workouts you put up too. They make great bonus routines.
Favorite winter workout? Skiing, of course!!

I’ll run outside as much as I can this winter. I bought some snow shoes last year. We didn’t get much snow in Iowa last winter so I didn’t get to break them in much. The hoodie would go great with either one of those workouts.
My favorite workout in the winter is running!!! I live in FL so I’d live for days like this to run in all the time.

Hate to admit it, but I actually love the treadmill. Park in front of a tv and just go.
Love running outside in the snow!
I love to run in the cold. find it exhilarating to run in the snow. I also enjoy cross country skiing. it’s just beautiful scenery and a great way to clear the head.
I used to figure skate so I always love to get in a few good skates once the weather gets cold!
