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.

    Since it is warm here and not as hot as earlier this year, I love to do my HIIT outside at the park while my kids play. Love the Winters here in Florida, we are new here we just did a PCS move here !

  2. Kristen on December 12, 2012 at 8:13 pm

    I enjoy cross-country skiing, though it sometimes aggravates my cold-induced asthma.

  3. AmyD on December 12, 2012 at 8:13 pm

    I’m in Florida so my favorite workout is running. It’s so nice to run in cool weather.

    My favorite winter workout is a spin class – I’m hot and sweaty within minutes!

  6. Lizz on December 12, 2012 at 8:16 pm

    I just moved back to a place with winter so I’m figuring it out. I’m liking running in the winter more than I expected!

    I have been doing your tabata and hiit workouts indoors. The jump rope one is tough but i like it. I also run or walk on the dreadmill.

  9. Michelle on December 12, 2012 at 8:18 pm

    I’m in Atlanta and I LOVE running outside in winter since it’s so hot and humid here in the summer.

  10. Tracey on December 12, 2012 at 8:19 pm

    I get my runner’s high in the winter. There’s something empowering about bundling up and killing 7 miles or however many, while cars drive past, envious I’m sure of how the weather can’t stop me. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Crossfit!

  13. Megan on December 12, 2012 at 8:21 pm

    I love going for a run in the winter – once i get over the initial cold, it really is invigorating.

  14. Tracy on December 12, 2012 at 8:22 pm

    My favorite winter workout is running… Outside (and I’m in PA). I never used to like it but after having trained for an early spring marathon, I discovered that my body actually responds better to cold weather! I ran better and, afterwards, I didn’t feel as spent as I do in hot weather. Plus, it feels so good afterwards knowing that you were able to beat the elements and get a great workout in!

  15. Lynne on December 12, 2012 at 8:23 pm

    I love doing yoga during the wintertime. Actually I just love doing yoga! In all seasons ๐Ÿ™‚

  16. lindsey on December 12, 2012 at 8:24 pm

    I love walking my dog–gets him exercise and me sunshine and exercise! ๐Ÿ™‚

  17. Kristin on December 12, 2012 at 8:25 pm

    Lately, my favorite winter workouts have been lifting weights with some tabata intervals. Short and sweet!

  18. Lindsey F. on December 12, 2012 at 8:27 pm

    I’ve been loving ball workouts and yoga. Everyone can use a little om during this time of the year ๐Ÿ™‚

  19. Lesley on December 12, 2012 at 8:29 pm

    Favorite winter workout is definitely skiing! Doesn’t get better than that ๐Ÿ™‚

  20. Helen Olesen on December 12, 2012 at 8:29 pm

    I really enjoy doing Zumba during the winter season. It doesn’t feel like a workout it is just fun to dance for an hour.

  26. Jen on December 12, 2012 at 8:36 pm

    I love winter running. I live in Canada so it gets quite cold here in the winter and I’m determined to keep up my runs. Cozy clothes are essential for those early morning runs when it’s the coldest.

  27. Elise on December 12, 2012 at 8:38 pm

    Definitely some yoga.

  28. Katie on December 12, 2012 at 8:38 pm

    Love me some warm/hot yoga to warm up!

  29. Jess T on December 12, 2012 at 8:38 pm

    my favorite winter workout is anything inside, not a fan of the cold weather here in PA.

    I still love to run outside in the winter even when its well below freezing, I love getting bundled up and inhaling cold air! It feels so good when you’re done!

  36. Sarah on December 12, 2012 at 8:46 pm

    I’m a treadmill and hot yoga girl in the winter! Too cold and snowy in New England to do otherwise!

  37. Emily on December 12, 2012 at 8:47 pm

    I love cross country skiing!

  38. beth on December 12, 2012 at 8:47 pm

  41. SR on December 12, 2012 at 8:50 pm

    my fave winter workout is yoga. It’s a nice way to stay indoors and cozy and get a good stretch!

  42. Ashley on December 12, 2012 at 8:52 pm

    My favorite winter workout is walks through a fresh layer of snow. And I love shoveling snow- get a good sweat in there!

  43. jameil on December 12, 2012 at 8:52 pm

    During the warmer months I try to get outside for my workouts so during the winter is time to hit the gym. My fav winter workout is anything I can do inside while staying warm so that usually means cardio machines and weights or a home workout program.

  46. natasha on December 12, 2012 at 8:54 pm

    Hot yoga is my favorite winter workout ๐Ÿ™‚

  47. Danielle on December 12, 2012 at 8:55 pm

    My favorite winter workouts are the fitness classes that I attend. From turbokick to pi-yo. I get to work up a sweat (or stretch) without freezing outside!

  48. Ashley on December 12, 2012 at 8:55 pm

    Power walks through the snow!

  49. Heather on December 12, 2012 at 8:55 pm

    My favorite workout in the winter is a good snow run! It has been several years since I’ve been able to do one- but I am looking forward to one in my near future!! ๐Ÿ™‚
