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.

    My favorite winter workout is bundling up for a run in Central Park!

  4. Nicole on December 12, 2012 at 3:43 pm

    Fav winter workout is def insanity!! I love those workouts, and you can do them nice and snug inside rather than outside being miserable! Not too mention the massive calorie burn!!!

  5. Dawn Ciaccio on December 12, 2012 at 3:43 pm

    My favorite winter outside workout is snowboarding! My favorite winter inside workout is lifting weights, squats, lunging around house, ab routines, etc.

  6. Mariah on December 12, 2012 at 3:43 pm

    I love any type of circuit training. It is fast and sweaty!

    I love yoga in the winter… leaving the cold for a warm studio and the feeling of the cold after a nice, relaxing workout.

  12. Ally on December 12, 2012 at 3:44 pm

    My favourite winter workout is anything that will get me to the gym on a chilly morning! Walking a mile to the metro in 30 degree weather isn’t always first on my list of things I want to do in the morning ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Ice skating! Hands down, it’s my favorite winter activity (besides drinking cocoa, but hey, I can multitask!) It’s so much fun, you don’t even realize it’s a workout until you’re done and your feet are screaming ๐Ÿ˜‰

  19. Heather Boyd on December 12, 2012 at 3:45 pm

    Hot yoga is my all time favorite winter workout!!!! And I subsribed to your YouTube channel!!!

  20. Cathy on December 12, 2012 at 3:46 pm

    Being that I hate the cold, my favorite winter workout is the treadmill.

  21. Emily on December 12, 2012 at 3:46 pm

    I’m a subscriber and my favorite winter workout – hot yoga or barre! Much warmer in the studio than it is out on the trails. brrrr

    Subscriber! And running in the woods has to be my favorite cold weather outdoor exercise.

  24. Andrea E. on December 12, 2012 at 3:47 pm

    My favorite winter workout-Socarobics!

  25. Amanda on December 12, 2012 at 3:48 pm

    Hmm my favorite winter workout. Might have to be a really good step class! Perhaps followed by a trip to the sauna?

  26. Jody on December 12, 2012 at 3:48 pm

    My favorite winter workout would be playing ice hockey but as I retired myself from playing I still love to go ice and if it’s a slow day at the rink do monsters up/down the ice. Such a good workout. I also suscribed to your youtube channel.

  27. Jensine Crandall on December 12, 2012 at 3:48 pm

    I love my mini trampoline!

  28. aleece on December 12, 2012 at 3:48 pm

    Running outside in the snow!

  29. Annie on December 12, 2012 at 3:48 pm

    My favorite winter workout is anything! Anyway I can convince myself to get my booty off the couch and into motion during the winter is a winner. ๐Ÿ™‚

  30. Sonia the Mexigarian on December 12, 2012 at 3:48 pm

    Favorite winter workout is working up a sweat in an indoor cycling class followed by Zumba. ๐Ÿ™‚ Though my gym membership expired so I need to get my cycling fix another way. Got Zumba at home!

  32. Cate on December 12, 2012 at 3:49 pm

    Hands down my favorite winter workout is riding my horse (ok, well it’s my favorite year round workout… but winter is really special to me). There’s nothing better than dismounting after a freezing cold ride to warm horse kisses, or going for a gallop in some fresh powder! Well, maybe coming home to my 10 month old, but that’s not really a workout, my horse on the other hand… she makes me sweat more than a good HIIT workout.

  33. Annie on December 12, 2012 at 3:49 pm

    My favorite winter workout is running. I have a no excuse four mile run that I run all winter. It’s not too long of a distance in the freezing temperatures, but it is long enough to off-set some of the comfort foods that creep into my diet in the winter.

  34. Jeanne on December 12, 2012 at 3:50 pm

    My favorite winter workout is a long yoga session.

  35. Danielle M. on December 12, 2012 at 3:50 pm

    My favorite winter workout is running outside with the dog! : )

  36. Amanda on December 12, 2012 at 3:50 pm

    My favorite winter workouts are either short runs outside (depending on how cold it is and what kind of gear I have), workout DVDs in my living room or circuit free weights at the gym.

  37. Jennifer on December 12, 2012 at 3:50 pm

    My fave winter workout has to be anything indoors. I’m a wuss when it comes to cold weather. The best is a HIIT mixed with TRX for strength. Side note: I just got the UA Storm pants and LOVE them. So warm on my early morning walks with the dog!

  38. Rebecca on December 12, 2012 at 3:50 pm

    My favorite work out all around is running. I tend to get up super early (around 4:30 to 4:45 AM) to squeeze in at least 3 miles before work. I live in NY, so the winters here can get pretty cold (especially so early in the morning!). I’ve been looking for something to go over my base layer and keep me warm on my runs, so it would be awesome to win this hoodie!

  39. Mary on December 12, 2012 at 3:50 pm

    Favorite winter workout is running in the snow! It’s so pretty, and calming. Also, kinda makes you feel like a bada**. : )

  40. liz on December 12, 2012 at 3:50 pm

    My favorite winter workout is yoga because it is always nice and warm inside (though sometimes way to warm for me). I also subscribed to your youtube channel

  41. Jenny on December 12, 2012 at 3:50 pm

    My favorite winter workout is Zumba!

  42. Alex on December 12, 2012 at 3:50 pm

    My favorite winter workout is sledding! The ride down makes the climb well worth it!

    I recently moved from Florida to Colorado, so I have yet to survive a Colorado winter and I am pretty sure I will be doing mainly indoor workouts. Although I am hoping to learn how to ski! In Florida, my favorite winter workout was running as I was usually training for a February half-marathon. I would so love to win this hoodie, because I am seriously lacking in warm workout clothes!

  46. Dandi on December 12, 2012 at 3:51 pm

    My favorite workout recently has been heavy weights! I’m trying to add in HIIT afterward. Also, I just went to my first Les Mills RPM cycle class last week and I am offically addicted!!

  47. jackie7288 on December 12, 2012 at 3:51 pm

    my favorite winter workout is taking classes at The Refine Method and running outside. Nothing like a nice long run in the cool weather ๐Ÿ™‚
