Stay Fit This Winter: Your Guide to Outdoor Workouts

With the right preparations, exercising outdoors in winter can be a rewarding experience. Start by dressing in moisture-wicking layers to keep yourself warm and dry. Choose outerwear that can be easily removed as your body temperature rises during the workout.

Wearing bright and reflective clothing is crucial for your safety, especially during shorter days and cloudy weather. To keep your extremities warm, invest in insulated, waterproof shoes and gloves. Avoid mesh footwear as it can let snow in, which exacerbates cold feet.

Consider using traction aids like shoe grips to minimize slipping on icy surfaces. Covering your head, ears, and face is essential for retaining body heat. Finally, remember to stay hydrated by drinking room-temperature or slightly warm water, even if you don’t feel thirsty, as dehydration is a common winter issue.
