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 hot yoga because I live in South Dakota and it is the only time I feel warm during the winter. =)
I hate the cold, so anything indoors. Although I guess I do kind of like shoveling, that could be a workout, right?
Most winters I run outdoors for half marathon trsjninh
Sorry trying yo comment from my kindle…Most winters I run outdoors for half marathon training so this jacket would be great!
I live in Ontario and I love running in the snow! There’s something that hurts so good about that burning in your lungs as you trek up and down the hills while trying not to sink into a snow pile or slide on the ice!
Heavy weights, HIIT and Plyo. Gotta get that heart bumping big time to work up a sweat during the winter.
My favorite winter workout is (so lame) but we just got this treadmill at the gym and it has a “virtual run” where you can run through the alps, Maine and Italy…ALL IN ONE RUN! Boo Ya baby! (and…I subscribed to your channel a while ago! Love it!)
I’m a wimp! We live in a very snowy place so any indoor spin class with the heat blasting is great!
Oh, and I subscribed!

Ice skating!
I LOVE hot yoga 🙂 perfect for cold days (although it doesn’t get too cold here in Florida)

What a great hoodie! My favorite winter workout is HIIT on the treadmill – quick and sweaty does the job 🙂
I move my workout to the gym and run on the treadmill.
my favorite is my lululemon zip up long sleeve shirt for running!! keeps me warm!!
Favorite winter workout is teaching spin and kickboxing at the gym 🙂 Not a fan of outdoors in the winter!
My favorite winter workout is something I can do indoors–like treadmill HIIT, a kickboxing class or TurboFire!
Love your website! Just getting back into clean eating and working out! New gear is always a good motivator!
Well I haven’t really needed cold weather gear since I moved to SoCal from Iowa last May, but when I did live in Iowa my favorite thing was my Under Armour tights! So warm!
My winter workouts are all done indoors because I hate the cold! I do hot yoga to keep warm, and HIIT workouts.

I still run in the winter, but usually inside. It was 9 degrees outside this morning!
My favorite winter workout is P90X in my living room and then going for a quick jog to cool off!
I’m subscribed! I loooove that hoodie – want!!
My favorite cold weather workout is a good run – is that weird? I like running in the cold SO much better than in the heat, so I try to enjoy it while it lasts 🙂 Or a good BodyPump session – sure to get the blood flowing!
My favorite winter workout is basically the same workout I love all year round, Zumba! I also have tons of fun when I go skiing. I really need a new workout jacket though so this would be perfect:)
And I am also subscribed to your YouTube!
My favorite workout for winter is reformer Pilates. You feel stretched lengthened and warm anytime of the year!

My favorite winter workout is probably still my favorite overall workout, a CrossFit hero WOD called “The Seven”:
Seven rounds for time of:
7 Handstand push-ups
95 pound Thruster, 7 reps
7 Knees to elbows
185 pound Deadlift, 7 reps
7 Burpees
7 Kettlebell swings, 2 pood
7 Pull-ups
Thanks for the opportunity!
I love skiing down hills! want to try snowboarding someday:) For now there’s no snow here where I live, so I stick to JM, elliptical and TM, with some of your workouts as well:)
It’s boring, but in the winter, I like to walk/jog on my home treadmill where I can look out the window. Lame, but I like it. 🙂
I just discovered body pump and I am loving it! I’m also training for a half marathon in march so of course running as well!
Also, I’m a youtube subscriber. 🙂
Downhill skiing! I love it, it’s the best winter workout! I oddly don’t mind running long miles in the snow either . . . I guess that’s what growing up in Upstate NY does to you!
My favorite winter workout is TRX class! I love it because I usually do it outside in the summer, but because it is so functional, I can easily take it inside and get the same great workout!! Plus, having a teacher to push you is a lot more motivating!!!
I love running in long sleeved tech tees. It doesn’t get too cold in Texas but I love every chance I get to enjoy cooler weather running.

Since it is cold, I am stuck doing my workouts inside during the winter season. One of my favorite winter workouts is doing a Jackie Warner DVD. She kicks my butt every time!!
I am so boring. I usually stick to the elliptical in the winter (I refuse to workout outdoors…I’m in Minnesota) I did jot down some workouts based on ideas from your workouts 🙂
My favorite winter workout is sledding!!
My favorite winter workout is a run (ok its pretty much always my favorite workout!)
Skiing is by far my favorite winter workout! Snow bunny, all the way. 😉 It burns muscles I never even knew existed. (And I’m in medical school!)

I just bought arm warmers this fall and love them. They were perfect to take on and off, and now that winter has hit Iowa they are a great layer underneath a jacket!
