Exercising in the cold?

[Emm]

So....it is getting COLD here...only 36 right now and the low is twenty freaking two tonight!!!!!!! ARG!!! :skull2:

I usually only hit the gym two nights a week because it is a pain in the arse to get there from work and home and stuff. I have been walking/running the other nights....but now that it is so damn cold I don't know what I am going to do.

Should I just bundle up and stay outside? I don't want to catch pneumonia or anything!

Get a good wetsuit and take up swimming. You do live on the water....

[Emm]

hmmmmm.....only if my worthless husband does it too :stooges::smashfreakB:

[yamaslut]

it hurts my lungs when it get's into the 50's...

[MADMAT]

You got a do?

I love taking mine to the beach in blizzard conditions. Its a good workout and they sit and stare it you and bug you if ya don't take them. They are motivating.

Went down last night it was like 20 with 30MPH winds and 7 foot waves.

what about frequent bedroom aerobics? :kiss::naughty::naughty::naughty::Banane09:

you won't get cold in Bikrams: http://www.x-h2o.com/showthread.php?t=45889

One session burns about 1,000 calories. Great stretch as well as strength.

I didn't say anything about loosing weight. You probably do loose some water weight, but the idea is to hydrate before, durring, and after. I don't do it to loose weight durring the class.
If you burn 1,000 calories running and sweating you may loose water weight also. The idea in Bikrams is to increase your heart rate, stretch your muscles and strengthen using isometrics.

If you are looking to loose weight, I think a stronger cardio routine is better, Running, eliptical, and swimming, will help you drop weight faster than anything. I use Bikrams as a suplement to the gym and running. I'm not trying to loose weight, trying to stay lean and flexable.

You will know its too cold when your nostrils stick together when you inhale real quick ... then just slow down a little till they warm up again !

If you decide to go outside, dress warm but don't overdo the clothing since your body will be heating up to begin with. I suggest under armour cold gear with a sweatshirt over top for wind purposes, compression pants, and maybe some joggers over the pants.


Make sure you have plenty of fluids before you go outside. You can easily dry out your lungs in this crappy weather. Don't let that be you!!!

I lived in Alaska for a year and they tell you "don't run when it's below 0". I went to a natural hot springs in -40 weather and started freezing (literally) on the 1/3 mile walk back to the car. So we started running. Then I realized why they tell you don't run. The cold air was freezing our lungs! You could feel it like ice daggers in your chest. We had to slow to a walk and just deal with the minor frostbite we got on our ears. AL doesn't sound so bad now huh?

anything below 50 sucks to me!!!! You couldn't pay me to live somewhere where it is any colder than it is here!

I am going for a run/walk with my friend tonight...it is only 34 right now...time to break out the long johns! :biggrin:

[Emm]

welp....I have my layers ready...about to head to the stadium to get my a** kicked :biggthumpup:

it is actually 38 right now...not too miserable....

[Matt_E]

I don't mind running/hiking in the cold.

Just got back from a 3 mile jog in about 35 degrees.

[Emm]

well.....I just go back from dominating that dang stadium HAHA

I got hot as hell.....but man my lungs were KILLING ME!!! I don't know how much I can do if it gets any colder

[Matt_E]

How cold was it?

[Big Kahuna]

Emm, when we ride in the cold, we use Tights for the legs, Then for up top, many use Underarmour Cold Gear with another layer over that to help break the wind. Right now I am using arm warmers with my cycling jersey. I need to get the underarmour shirt as well......... You dont want to be hot when you start, you will die when your body heats up..... You want to be cool when you start. Also you may want to get something to cover your mouth and nose, this way you can muffle the air you are breating in, help to warm it some before it hits your lungs.

[Matt_E]

Under Armor and something to break the wind are the ticket.

[Emm]

It was 38 or so.....

yeah....I need to go shopping for a few new things.....I can't quit working out!

[Roo]

I'm in Michigan and went out for a jog today.

Right around 30 degree's with some nice wind coming off of the lake.

My lungs were really bothering me and I could not stop spitting up fluids...

Once I got home, it took me a good half hour to completely recover. Wasn't pleasant.

[Big Kahuna]

We road 8.5 miles yesterday. mid 50's. Just wore my riding shorts, jersey (short sleeve) with Arm Warmers. 3 miles in the arm warmers came off....... We ran into another rider, stood around and shot the bull for a while. After that, I could never warm back up, or get back to the pace and energy level I had the first half..........
