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.

I love your excitement for “winter” but it also gives me a laugh. It’s only December and this morning was 8 degrees F in Fredericton, New Brunswick (CA). I like the cold around Christmas but I definitely envy that you can look cute in winter clothes without having to hide it all under a parka lol
Running outside (hit the pavement or a trail) then warm up with some hot power yoga. It’s the best of both worlds – like chocolate and peanut butter!! (And I just subscribed to your YouTube channel – yeah!)
I love to run outside in the cold becuase I get overheated easily.

My favorite wintertime workout is spin class. Hot and sweaty!

I live in FL so outside winter workouts don’t get too bad…I still get cold though! I still run outside, bit when it gets really “cold” I stay in the garage and do tabata style workouts.
My fave winter workout is a short 3-mile run, followed by a hot yoga session. 🙂
I am definitely a fan of spin classes in the winter or runs outside as long as there’s not a lot of ice!
Bikram yoga!

I like to spin spin spin all winter long.
Fave winter workout is a circuit style using a kettlebell! I am fairly new to board the kettlebell train but man has it stepped up my workout time!!
HIIT and any kind of strength training!

My fav winter work out is running, ok its my all the time fave workout! Im such a whimp for the cold so most of my running has been treadmill,
it helps that I can watch foodtv while the miles tick by!
Hot yoga. I love walking into the studio on a cold day!
Heavy weights and HIIT.

I just started kickboxing and it is soo much fun! The only problem is running to and from my car in the cold weather!
Snowshoeing and skiing! Gotta love living in Colorado 🙂

My favorite winter workout is running on a treadmill by a window that shows lots of snow. It’s very peaceful to me!!
I love running outside in the cold–I know that sounds weird but it’s so peaceful! Bonus around the holidays when the Christmas lights are in full effect…truly my favorite workout 🙂
I’m a subscriber to you YouTube! Love the giveaway item!
I would love to try their hoodie! I am looking for one post workout! I am already a subscriber!!!! <3
I love going to hot yoga classes in the winter. It feels so nice to work up a sweat and stretch my muscles after spending the day bundled up or inside!
My favorite winter workout is going to our local park and running the snow frosted trails – it is beautiful there – scerene and with glorious views at certain parts of the trail that overlook the water with the mountains in the back ground….love love love it 🙂 And I love hoodies – would love to win this 🙂
My favorite winter workout…… I like running when it’s not TOO cold… When it snows I like to go sledding… which is kind of like a workout……
Hot yoga! It keeps me nice and toasty!
Snowy runs on the trail by my house!
My favorite cold weather workout would have to be skiing! Even though i am not that good or coordinated i love it!

My least favorite workout is actually my dogs favorite activity so I force myself to do it 😉 I go for a quick walk through our neighborhood a few nights a week during the winter…. Ohio can get pretty brutal with snow/wind but my dog loves it so much that I just suck it up and do it for his sake. Most of the time it can be very refreshing!
I live in Illinois and I love to hike and play in the snow.
Running is the best in the winter! I am always way more motivated for a long run on a grey day than a sunny day… weird… !
Just found this one to do on a treadmill. It’s a HIIT workout (thanks so much for the Fitnessista for introducing those to me) and I love to do it at least once a week. 2 minutes of warm-up on the treadmill, then 10 min of a 15 sec sprint and a 45 sec recover. Follow that with 25 min steady running, and then do another 10 min, but this time do 30 sec sprint and 30 sec recover. I seriously want to die at the end of the second round of ten minutes, but it goes by so quickly, and I feel like I have burned a million calories!

I may be weird, but I love going outside for a run when it’s snowing. It’s so peaceful, and there’s such a great sense of camaraderie with everyone else who’s crazy enough to be out running too!
My favorite winter workout is skiing!
My favorite winter workouts are walking during sunny days outside. I like the cold air as long as it’s sunny!
Hmmm…my favorite winter work out? Right now it’s shoveling (nothing like having to shovel every few hours!), or walking in the snow. This week I’m going to try out Nordic skiing, and I can’t wait!
Sled riding is my favorite way to burn some cookie calories in the winter!
I love running when it is snowing almost as I love a spring rain!
I love going to my gym’s BodyCombat class and doing my Tone It Up Beach Babe DVD!

In the winter I pretty much turn into a bear and hybernate! (It gets COLD here in Boston)There is a
local dance studio that offers virtual workouts throughkype. They are some of the best workouts I’ve ever done and I never leave my apartment. 🙂
