Tips For Safe Workouts In Cold Weather

shutterstock_68181940Do you stick to your workout rain or shine? What about snow, sleet and record low temperatures? Follow these simple cold weather workout tips to keep you on track and encouraged, even during the coldest of mornings:

  • Wear a hat. Your body can lose a lot of its heat storage if your head is left uncovered.
  • Always wear layers so that if you start to overheat you can shed excess clothing. Your first layer should always be some sort of lightweight material that repels water, keeping sweat away from your body and you dry.
  • Hydrate. It may be more difficult to notice your body becoming dehydrated in winter, so be sure to track fluid intake during your workout..
  • Wear shoes with good traction that help prevent slips on ice or slick surfaces. And, as always, watch where you step!
  • Protect the face. Wearing some kind of active scarf or face wrap can help warm up the air you breathe in before it enters your lungs. It can also protect your face from wind-burn and frostbite.
  • Warm-ups are more important than ever when it’s cold outside. Try starting your warm-up inside and finishing it outside, giving your muscles time to adjust. Little breaks during the first half of your warm-up can also help.
  • Keep an eye on the forecast. Rain and freezing temperatures are not the best workout conditions! Knowing the forecast will help you set temperature limits for yourself as you come to terms with what is and is not okay with your body.

If you hurt yourself while exercising in the cold, contact Matthew Boes M.D. to ease the pain!

    Wow! Thank you! I permanently needed to write on my website something like that. Can I take a part of your post to my site?

  16. I would like to express appreciation to the writer just for rescuing me from this situation. Just after researching through the online world and meeting ideas which were not pleasant, I believed my life was gone. Living minus the solutions to the problems you’ve fixed as a result of your good review is a critical case, as well as those which might have badly damaged my entire career if I hadn’t noticed your web blog. Your main know-how and kindness in touching the whole lot was priceless. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I had not come across such a stuff like this. I can at this moment look forward to my future. Thank you very much for the specialized and effective help. I won’t be reluctant to recommend your site to any individual who requires recommendations on this subject.

  17. I believe everything posted made a ton of sense. However, what about this? what if you typed a catchier post title? I ain’t suggesting your information isn’t solid, but suppose you added a headline to possibly get folk’s attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is kinda boring. You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create news headlines to get people to open the links. You might add a related video or a picture or two to grab readers excited about everything’ve got to say. In my opinion, it would bring your blog a little bit more interesting.|

I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? Appreciate it|

  20. Wow, fantastic blog layout! How long have you been blogging for? you make blogging look easy. The overall look of your site is magnificent, as well as the content!
