Healthy Living –Cold-Weather Workout Tips

If cold weather is preventing you from your fitness activities, try these winter workout tips:

1. If you really need to be outside in cold temperatures, add a layer of thermal underwear. Running, jogging or brisk walking will definitely work up a sweat, even in frigid temperatures. Thermals will wick the sweat away from your body and keep you warm and dry.
2. Don't push yourself too hard. On days when the air feels too cold to even breathe in, listen to your body's signals and stay indoors. Cold air can trigger exercise-induced asthma (EIA) with symptoms like chest pain or tightness, wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath.
3. Workout at home. Now is a great time to think about getting a treadmill, elliptical or stationary bike. Having your own equipment at home, ready to use anytime you please will help you stay motivated and on schedule.
4. Try a new fitness routine at home. Fitness routines are exercises that be done in your own home without major equipment. Try yoga, Pilates, kick-boxing or aerobics with a DVD or video – all in the comfort of your own home.
