]]> It’s getting cold outside, and as if the weather weren’t uncomfortable enough, it can also be a barrier for runners who like to exercise outside. Sharp winds and low temperatures make breathing difficult and increase the likelihood of various injuries, but that doesn’t mean you need to wait until spring to hit the track again. If you’re a runner looking to keep up your routine throughout winter, read on for some tips on how to do so safely. 

Wear Layers

Staying warm without overheating can be a bit of a balancing act while running in winter, but it doesn’t have to be so complicated. Our best tip is to dress in layers, starting with a moisture-wicking base layer to keep sweat away from your skin. Add a fleece pullover or cozy sweatshirt for warmth, and top it all off with a windproof, water-resistant outer layer. You’ll be able to adjust your clothing as your body temperature fluctuates throughout your run.

Extremities Matter

Cold exposure causes blood vessels to constrict and reduces circulation, which is not only uncomfortable but can actually put your extremities at risk. Protect your head, hands, and feet with accessories made of warm, breathable materials designed to wick away moisture.

Prevent Injuries

Before running in the cold, it’s essential to warm up thoroughly in order to prevent injuries. Begin with a few minutes of dynamic movement to get your heart pumping, then move on to some stretches to promote flexibility. Once you head out, be mindful of the terrain—shorten your strides to maintain balance on slippery surfaces, adjusting your pace as you go.

While some people don’t mind this, and there is plenty of equipment and gear out there to protect you from the elements, exercising in cold weather can cause injuries. Read on for tips on how to avoid winter weather injuries.

Slipping on Ice

If you’re a runner, one of the big risks is slipping or twisting on ice. This is made worse if you go out in the dark, as icy surfaces can be harder to spot then. Invest in a pair of running shoes with excellent grip, and check the weather before you head out on a run. If it seems likely to be icy, consider a session on the gym treadmill instead.

Muscle Pain

If you exercise in the cold without warming up first, you are at higher risk of muscle strain or tear. Wear thermal exercise gear if you are prone to muscle pain and make sure you do some dynamic stretching inside before venturing into the outdoors. 

Protect Extremities

Even if you don’t injure a major muscle, your exposed extremities such as ears, nose, and fingers can suffer from cold exposure if you are outside for a long time. Make sure you have good quality cold-weather gear, including gloves, a hat, and a scarf. This will help keep all parts of your body warm and reduce the risk of injury.

]]> Are you someone who loves to stay active, even when the weather turns chilly? We completely relate to that, because there are few things more exhilarating than going for a nice jog in the brisk cool air. However, while cold weather workouts can be a lot of fun, they also come with their own set of pros and cons. Let’s dive into both the pros and the cons of working out in cold weather.

The Pros

First, let’s talk about the good stuff. Cold weather workouts can be invigorating. The brisk air can make you feel more awake and alive. Plus, you’re less likely to overheat, so you can push yourself a little harder without getting too sweaty. And let’s be real, the beautiful winter landscapes also make exercising outdoors a scenic delight.

The Cons

On the flip side, there are some challenges to cold weather workouts. The cold can be tough on your lungs, so if you have asthma or other breathing issues, you need to be extra careful. In addition, your muscles may take longer to warm up, increasing the risk of injury. And sometimes, the weather can be just too extreme to work out safely, especially if it’s icy or dangerously cold.

]]> Serious runners like to run in all weather to keep their skill level up and to feel that awesome running high all year long. But if you’re starting to become more serious, you’re probably wondering, “how am I supposed to do this during the winter?” Here we’ll outline some tips for dressing right so that you can continue your running journey even when the wind turns chilly!

Layers

In most cases, layers are the name of the game. You’ll want a base layer of a long-sleeve shirt and tights, as well as warm wool socks or thermal socks and possibly a vest as well. On top of that, wear a warm windbreaker, or a running coat that’s wind-resistant. In very cold weather, you may need a middle layer to add more warmth, as well as a hat, scarf, and gloves. 

Material

When choosing material, be cautious of cotton. It can get wet with sweat and cling to your body, so it’s best to choose synthetic fibers or wool when dressing. Staying dry will help you stay warmer. You can also find plenty of clothing made specifically for running in cold weather, which is a great investment if you will be running a lot.

Weather

Before leaving the house, be sure to check all aspects of the weather including “feels like” temperature, wind chill, humidity, and of course, precipitation. If it’s going to be wet or icy out, make sure your shoes have lots of traction or are even made for walking on ice, because it can get slippery and dangerous. And if you don’t have the right apparel to stay warm and safe, consider finding a gym with a treadmill instead.

Despite the cold, you are still sweating during your outdoor workouts, so bundling to the max is a mistake. You need to dress in a way that will allow you to warm up and to remove some clothing pieces as needed.

Base Layer

The most important thing is to sweat, but not to work out in clothes that are drenched in sweat. That’s why the base layer should contain polypropylene, more commonly known as “moisture-wicking” fabric. Include it on the top and the bottom clothes.

Isolation and ventilation are of great importance, so your mid-layer should have ample ventilated openings that can help regulate body temperature. 

Outer Layer

The outer layer should give you protection and be able to repel wind and water while being good for movement. A nylon jacket is perfect for all of this.

It’s very important to protect your head, eyes, ears, hands, and feet while training outdoors, so use accessories that will cover them up before leaving your house.

]]> Cold and gloomy days are upon us, and it will be more difficult than ever to stay committed to our fitness routines. Bad weather can have a negative effect on our emotional wellbeing, but you can use these strategies to pull through and find motivation for your cold weather workouts.

Have a Plan

Scheduling your workouts is a good way to make sure you’ll actually stick to them. If you’re working out outdoors, check the weather forecast one week in advance, use mild temperatures to your advantage, and plan your workouts around them.

Keep it Simple

Working out doesn’t mean you should be pushing yourself to the limits if your body can’t take it. Instead of doing what you think you should, do what feels right at the moment. Opt for activities that you enjoy, do short workouts, and take things slow if you can’t do it any other way.

Stay Indoors

Don’t use the bad weather as an excuse to skip your workouts. If it’s raining outside or if it’s too windy for a run, you can still work out indoors. There are countless amazing fitness videos you can find online, and some of them even allow you to work out to your favorite songs.

What you eat and drink before going out to exercise can help you improve performance and stay safe and comfortable. The right nutrition will keep your body warm and fueled for exercise. Your body temperature will quickly drop when it’s cold outside and you need to work harder to keep yourself warm. The first thing you need to do is to make sure you’re properly hydrated. Not drinking plenty of water is one of the most common reasons for poor performance in the cold.

Staying hydrated 💦💦 Hydration is such an important aspect, both physically and mentally. Our body is made up of about 60% of water and staying hydrated is key in keeping your body running.

When it comes to food, complex carbohydrates are your best choice. Two hours before exercise, have bread, bagels, pasta, or baked potatoes combined with lean meat and low-fat cheese, for example. Bring some energy bars, sandwiches, or bananas with you so you can replace the carbs you use.

]]> Walking outside when it’s cold can be fun or frustrating, depending on if you’re dressed appropriately. Here are the three most important things you’ll need.

Shoes

Your feet need to stay warm and dry, especially if it’s raining outside. Choose flexible athletic shoes or light hiking boots in whichever style you prefer. It’s also a good idea to coat them with a water repellent treatment so you’re sure rain can’t get through them.

Underwear

It may not seem as important as some other things, but wearing proper underwear when outside in the winter is crucial to staying warm and dry all the time. Synthetic fabrics that dry fast are a better option than cotton and sports bra should also come in polyester blends.

Jacket

Pick a windproof and water-resistant jacket that’s also lightweight for fall or heavier for when it gets really cold. There are plenty of brands that offer soft jackets appropriate for walking, hiking, and skiing. It should have a comfortable hood in case it’s windy and rainy, pockets in which you can keep various things you need, and it would be good if it can fit over your backpack if you’re wearing one.

Colder weather comes with colds and flu, so it’s important to make sure your immune system is working like clockwork. Here’s how to support it when it’s cold outside.

Get Your Vitamins

As you get older, your body develops vitamin and mineral deficiencies that may compromise your immunity. Taking a multivitamin every day as well as mineral supplements will help you fight off infections.

#ad re: affordable whole food multivitamin // I am always re-evaluating the multivitamins and supplements I am taking, and have currently been taking and reviewing @CentrumUSA Whole Food Women’s Multivitamins. I think it’s important to know about specialty brands, and also brands that can be found easily on Amazon or in the grocery store! ⁠ ⁠ Here’s how I decide what to use. The first thing I decide is whether or not I need something. Obviously! There are a TON of products out there nowadays, because wellness is booming and *trennnnndy*. But you really need to first figure out what it is that your body needs – and your needs might be (or will be!) different from mine. ⁠ ⁠ The second thing I look for, like I said above – are brands that are available to most. While I do love to get super niche and specialized on occasion, my job is to make sure that I am reviewing brands that are available and not super abstract and expensive. ⁠ ⁠ For the rest of my check list, click through the link in bio! I’ve been loving @CentrumUSA Whole Food Women’s Multivitamins because they are compiled of a blend of organic, whole foods that are designed to work with your body. If you think about that, it makes total sense – why wouldn’t we take vitamins and supplements that more closely match the foods we put into our bodies every day?! And they are available easily on Amazon and currently at a great price for prime day! ⁠ ⁠ *This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Avoid Stress

We know this is basically impossible, but think about the situations in which you can manage your stress levels and start with those. You will quickly notice that you’ll sleep better and feel overall healthier, all thanks to your body not constantly being in a state of anxiety.

Nutrition

The best way to get vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients is through a healthy, balanced diet. It may sound boring but your body will simply be weaker if your diet consists mostly of fast food with little to none fruits and vegetables.

It’s very important to protect your head, eyes, ears, hands, and feet while training outdoors, so use accessories that will cover them up before leaving your house.

]]> Cold and gloomy days are upon us, and it will be more difficult than ever to stay committed to our fitness routines. Bad weather can have a negative effect on our emotional wellbeing, but you can use these strategies to pull through and find motivation for your cold weather workouts.

Have a Plan

Scheduling your workouts is a good way to make sure you’ll actually stick to them. If you’re working out outdoors, check the weather forecast one week in advance, use mild temperatures to your advantage, and plan your workouts around them.

Keep it Simple

Working out doesn’t mean you should be pushing yourself to the limits if your body can’t take it. Instead of doing what you think you should, do what feels right at the moment. Opt for activities that you enjoy, do short workouts, and take things slow if you can’t do it any other way.

Stay Indoors

Don’t use the bad weather as an excuse to skip your workouts. If it’s raining outside or if it’s too windy for a run, you can still work out indoors. There are countless amazing fitness videos you can find online, and some of them even allow you to work out to your favorite songs.

What you eat and drink before going out to exercise can help you improve performance and stay safe and comfortable. The right nutrition will keep your body warm and fueled for exercise. Your body temperature will quickly drop when it’s cold outside and you need to work harder to keep yourself warm. The first thing you need to do is to make sure you’re properly hydrated. Not drinking plenty of water is one of the most common reasons for poor performance in the cold.

Staying hydrated 💦💦 Hydration is such an important aspect, both physically and mentally. Our body is made up of about 60% of water and staying hydrated is key in keeping your body running. I usually aim to have at least 2-2.5L of water a day, means I’m constantly peeing but you get used to it 😂 – Some of the benefits of drinking water 💧Keeps water retention down meaning you look more defined and less bloated 💧Promotes healthy, hydrated skin which has so many benefits in itself from slowing down ageing to clearing acne 💧Improves mood, energy levels and overall brain function 💧Keeps your cravings down and keeps you full 💧Helps and prevents headaches 💧Assists with digestion – How does everyone try and make sure they stay hydrated throughout the day?? – – – #stayinghydrated #hydration #fitness #health #wellbeing

When it comes to food, complex carbohydrates are your best choice. Two hours before exercise, have bread, bagels, pasta, or baked potatoes combined with lean meat and low-fat cheese, for example. Bring some energy bars, sandwiches, or bananas with you so you can replace the carbs you use.

]]> Walking outside when it’s cold can be fun or frustrating, depending on if you’re dressed appropriately. Here are the three most important things you’ll need.

Shoes

Your feet need to stay warm and dry, especially if it’s raining outside. Choose flexible athletic shoes or light hiking boots in whichever style you prefer. It’s also a good idea to coat them with a water repellent treatment so you’re sure rain can’t get through them.

Underwear

It may not seem as important as some other things, but wearing proper underwear when outside in the winter is crucial to staying warm and dry all the time. Synthetic fabrics that dry fast are a better option than cotton and sports bra should also come in polyester blends.

Jacket

Pick a windproof and water-resistant jacket that’s also lightweight for fall or heavier for when it gets really cold. There are plenty of brands that offer soft jackets appropriate for walking, hiking, and skiing. It should have a comfortable hood in case it’s windy and rainy, pockets in which you can keep various things you need, and it would be good if it can fit over your backpack if you’re wearing one.

Colder weather comes with colds and flu, so it’s important to make sure your immune system is working like clockwork. Here’s how to support it when it’s cold outside.

Get Your Vitamins

As you get older, your body develops vitamin and mineral deficiencies that may compromise your immunity. Taking a multivitamin every day as well as mineral supplements will help you fight off infections.

#ad re: affordable whole food multivitamin // I am always re-evaluating the multivitamins and supplements I am taking, and have currently been taking and reviewing @CentrumUSA Whole Food Women’s Multivitamins. I think it’s important to know about specialty brands, and also brands that can be found easily on Amazon or in the grocery store! ⁠ ⁠ Here’s how I decide what to use. The first thing I decide is whether or not I need something. Obviously! There are a TON of products out there nowadays, because wellness is booming and *trennnnndy*. But you really need to first figure out what it is that your body needs – and your needs might be (or will be!) different from mine. ⁠ ⁠ The second thing I look for, like I said above – are brands that are available to most. While I do love to get super niche and specialized on occasion, my job is to make sure that I am reviewing brands that are available and not super abstract and expensive. ⁠ ⁠ For the rest of my check list, click through the link in bio! I’ve been loving @CentrumUSA Whole Food Women’s Multivitamins because they are compiled of a blend of organic, whole foods that are designed to work with your body. If you think about that, it makes total sense – why wouldn’t we take vitamins and supplements that more closely match the foods we put into our bodies every day?! And they are available easily on Amazon and currently at a great price for prime day! ⁠ ⁠ *This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Avoid Stress

We know this is basically impossible, but think about the situations in which you can manage your stress levels and start with those. You will quickly notice that you’ll sleep better and feel overall healthier, all thanks to your body not constantly being in a state of anxiety.

Nutrition

The best way to get vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients is through a healthy, balanced diet. It may sound boring but your body will simply be weaker if your diet consists mostly of fast food with little to none fruits and vegetables.
