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 usually work in more spin classes in the winter — same great cardio, but less chilly temperatures!

  3. Rachel @ Betty LIVIN on December 12, 2012 at 3:21 pm

    My favourite winter workout is cross country skiing. It is fun, easy and so much cheaper than snowboarding!

  4. Rachel on December 12, 2012 at 3:21 pm

    I absolutley love running in the winter, its cold and refreshing. Hoping to win this underarmor hoodie.

    Running when it’s not icy, otherwise I stick to my 30 day shred/turbofire DVDs

    My favorite winter workout is running! It doesn’t get too cold here, and it’s really invigorating.

  10. Hannah on December 12, 2012 at 3:21 pm

    I live in North Dakota and my favorite winter workout is bundling up, grabbing the dog and snowshoeing. It it such a fun way to get a workout in for both me and the dog! I am also a youtube subscriber.

  11. Jill on December 12, 2012 at 3:21 pm

    One of my favorite winter workouts is a 1-hour hiphop class that pushes me out of my comfort zone and makes me work up a sweat. I’m a dancer and find myself dancing more in the wintertime! Dance is a great workout and stress reliever! I look forward to it every week!

    I love doing tabata circuits inside–that way, i stay nice and warm, but i’m finished quickly. Win-win!

  14. Amanda on December 12, 2012 at 3:22 pm

    I love that jacket! My favorite winter workout is Zumba!! Well it’s my fave workout always!

  15. Tasha on December 12, 2012 at 3:22 pm

    I discovered last year that I actually really enjoy running outside in the winter, this jacket would be perfect for cold morning runs!

  16. Zana on December 12, 2012 at 3:22 pm

    I looooove snowshoeing. It is such an awesome workout! It’s been 2 years since I’ve been able to go (pregnant 1 year and no snow the next) so hopefully we will have enough snow this year to go. I also really enjoy cross country skiing.

  19. Mollie K. on December 12, 2012 at 3:22 pm

    My favorite winter workout is any workout inside my gym-mostly group classes. I love how I got in with white fingers from being so cold and come out a sweaty mess!

  20. Michelle on December 12, 2012 at 3:22 pm

    I’m a crazy but my favorite winter workout is running through the Boston winters! There’s nothing like cruising past people huddled into enormous coats to make you feel hardcore!

  21. Amanda on December 12, 2012 at 3:22 pm

    Spinning!

  22. Emily @ Have Your Cake And on December 12, 2012 at 3:22 pm

    Definitely favorite winter workout is outdoor running. I actually don’t mind running in the cold and sort of prefer it to the heat because I find when I get all sweaty in the summer its like I sweat foreverr after (tmi?) but in the cold I’m motivated to get a sweat going just to warm up.

  25. TJ on December 12, 2012 at 3:22 pm

    Love the giveaway :). My favorite workout in the winter is playing ice hockey!

  26. Meagan on December 12, 2012 at 3:22 pm

    I love this hoodie! My favorite winter workout is hot power yoga. It feels amazing to walk inside the studio from the cold weather and stretch out completely.

    I actually like winter running! I’m currently training for “the hypothermic half” and it was freezing and snowy when I ran this morning.

  31. Catherine B on December 12, 2012 at 3:23 pm

    My favorite winter workout is running OUTSIDE ๐Ÿ™‚

    It looks like it would just fit over my 20 week belly, which would be great for our holiday trip up to Whistler to enjoy the snow! Or all the chilly morning dog walks with the pups. Thanks for hosting!

  37. KC on December 12, 2012 at 3:23 pm

    Running! I live in GA so i hate running in the summer because of the heat. I look forward to winter running all summer long and am so happy when it finally gets here!

  38. Alexis on December 12, 2012 at 3:23 pm

    My favorite winter workout is jogging with my 11 month old in her stroller. I live where it doesn’t get too cold in the winter so I can still enjoy getting to use my jogging stroller and being outside.

  39. Cindy on December 12, 2012 at 3:23 pm

    My favorite winter workout used to be running on the treadmill. This winter it will be treadmill walking though. I just had a little girl right before Thanksgiving and am not cleared to workout yet. I plan on putting Madelsyn in a sling or the Boba and walking as often as possible tho! ๐Ÿ™‚

    My favorite winter workout is strength training! I take advantage of not being able to run outside and spend more time in the weight room.

  48. Jen M on December 12, 2012 at 3:24 pm

    I like doing intervals on the treadmill! Nothing like getting hot and sweaty inside when it’s super cold outside ๐Ÿ™‚
