Exercise during cold weather....



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

So i need to get my act together and start planning my new life exercise routine. But I HATE the cold weather! I'm such a wimp.

What have others found?

Do you buy the thermal clothing and get your self out there?

Do you get the gym membership?

Do you use the walk away the pounds dvd?

Any advise would be wonderful!

For me, gym membership. i found a really nice all women's gym that i love. Look around and see if you can find one that fits you. Some gyms you walk into and feel like you have to be a size 2 to workout there, while others are much more accepting. Goodluck!

If you have a local mall, you could walk the length of the mall. Alot of people do that in the morning before the stores open or after work. Especially when it rains and snows. I was in Ohio over the summer and people were even doing it during really HOT days.

I have a dog that requires me to be out all winter walking. I just dress in thermals- besides walking warms you up and you burn more calories shivering! I do not walk when it is way below zero or really bad wind chill or icy sidewalks. I do not want to be laid up when I wrench my bad knees. But, by the time we get out ( around 6pm) the wind usually has died down and it is clear and cold but beautiful. Also bought a recumbent bike for the days I do not walk ( and those i do also). I have not lost enough to where i feel comfy at a gym or better yet , a pool.

Well I usually jsut get out there in it anyway unless its pouring rain but I live in Melbourne and the coldest it might ever get is 0 degrees celcius in the middle of the night in the very middle of winter. I have a treadmill which is a blessing, a really worthwhile purchase. Otherwise, a gym membership would be a good idea.

I dont like the cold weather either but I get out in it anyway. I started walking at first but now I ride my bike every morning for 40 minutes rain or shine. I am addicted. Just bundle up and get out there, soon you will get used to it.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
