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.

  2. becca on December 12, 2012 at 3:38 pm

    Super cute hoodie! It looks really nice and warm. ๐Ÿ™‚
    My favorite winter workout is probably hot yoga. Sweating it out is that much sweeter knowing how chilly it is outside!

  3. Elly on December 12, 2012 at 3:38 pm

    My favorite winter workout is Bikram yoga! Keeps me nice and warm in Wisconsin ๐Ÿ™‚

    My favorite workout is running in the snow first thing in the morning before the snow has been touched. It is the only peaceful workout I enjoy!

  7. Randi on December 12, 2012 at 3:38 pm

    Running OUTSIDE! Which is only tolerable in Houston Texas in the winter!

  8. Andrea on December 12, 2012 at 3:38 pm

    I still like to run outside in the winter… in NYC, call me crazy!

  9. rachel on December 12, 2012 at 3:39 pm

    nothing like some hot yoga when it’s freezing outside!

  10. Anna on December 12, 2012 at 3:39 pm

    My favorite winter workout? Treadmill inside my gym! It is too cold and I am too klutzy to run outdoors in winter. Slipping on ice and snow is not fun. LOVE the jacket! So cute!

  11. amber on December 12, 2012 at 3:39 pm

    My fave winter workout is HIIT! I can get sweaty fast and warm up! I am also a subscriber on Youtube ๐Ÿ™‚

  12. Lindsay on December 12, 2012 at 3:39 pm

    Zumba! I don’t get to go as much as I’d like with my schedule, so the dreadmill is always my go to in a pinch. Also loving Turbo Fire!

  13. Natalie S on December 12, 2012 at 3:39 pm

    My favorite winter workout is yoga, especially if it’s heated! I’m always cold in the freezing, super snowy winter here in Vermont and yoga is the perfect way to warm up and get my body moving!

    Running in the mornings and spin are my favorite winter workouts!

  19. Ines on December 12, 2012 at 3:39 pm

    There’s nothing better than going for a long run with my labrador retriever pup when it is -30 outside. My body is still getting accustomed to the cold winters but it feels so great to breathe in ice cold air while running my usual route.

    Favorite winter workout: It would be running, if it were not for this &*(&#$ IT Band issue. So instead, it’s lifting. And, if this counts, walking my dogs.

  25. Jessica on December 12, 2012 at 3:40 pm

    My favorite winter workout is running. It is almost never to cold for me to run, I feel invigorated and alive running in cold weather (and we live in Colorado) ๐Ÿ™‚

  26. Emily H on December 12, 2012 at 3:40 pm

    My favorite winter (and non-winter) workout is Zumba! Nothing gets you warmed up like some crazy booty shaking!

  32. Jen on December 12, 2012 at 3:40 pm

    My fav. winter workouts are strength classes at the gym!

  44. Naomi on December 12, 2012 at 3:42 pm

    My favorite winter workout would have to be circuit workouts. I find that my workout motivation likes to take a vacation during the colder months, because all I want to do is stay nice and cozy inside, so circuit workouts are a necessity to keep things interesting!

  45. Melissa Mann on December 12, 2012 at 3:42 pm

    I’m a subscriber. My favorite winter workout is HIIT with lots of abs.

  46. Jennifer @ Food for Todd on December 12, 2012 at 3:42 pm

    My favorite winter workout is incline work on the treadmill – backwards, forwards, to the side, you name it! By 9 minutes, I’m sweaty! And by the end of cardio, I feel like I’ve really accomplished something – a great, motivating way to start my day!

  47. Erin O. on December 12, 2012 at 3:43 pm

    p.s just subscribed to the channel ….also I love hot yoga! Whats your take on hot yoga in the first trimester??

  48. Stephanie on December 12, 2012 at 3:43 pm

    Running outside in the winter feels so refreshing!

  49. Giselle@myhealthyhappyhome on December 12, 2012 at 3:43 pm

    Spin, boot camp, and bodypump are my favorite indoor winter workouts ๐Ÿ™‚

  50. tiffany on December 12, 2012 at 3:43 pm

    i love running in the winter! my nose gets a little cold, but it’s so refreshing and it seems a lot easier when you’re not sweating so much. ๐Ÿ™‚
