Warm Up with Cool-Weather Workouts

Dress for comfort

  • Keep your feet cozy with warm socks, weatherproof shoes and supportive insoles
  • Wear layers of clothing to wick away moisture, insulate and protect
  • Don’t forget hats, gloves and scarves if it’s very cold

Look at the bright side

  • Being outdoors is a great way to get some Vitamin D
  • There’s no heat or humidity to deal with – just cool, crisp air
  • Exercise boosts immunity during cold and flu season

Take it inside if it gets too cold for comfort, try:

  • Indoor circuit workouts
  • Yoga or other fun group classes
  • Active housework such as power vacuuming

Have fun with cool weather activities such as: jogging, hiking, snowshoeing.
