Exercising Outdoors

When exercising outdoors in cold temperatures, here are some tips:

Protect your hands, ears, and nose! The extremities are the most exposed to cold and wind and most likely to get frostbite. Wear a knit hat that covers your ears and wear knit or cotton gloves for your hands.

Get out of damp clothes as soon as possible: When you stop moving, get out of your workout gear quickly, even if you cannot shower immediately. Have plenty of dry clothes on hand. Wind chill can be a lot more dangerous than the actual air temperature.

Start your workout into the wind and finish with it behind you. If you run into the wind when you are sweaty, you can get dangerously chilled to the bone.

Your safest bet? Work out indoors! No need to take any chances with black ice, snow, & freezing temperatures.
