How do you exercise during the winter? Is it harder or easier to exercise in winter?

[scarlett]

Do you exercise at home, go to gym or go for walking in your neighbourhood/street? Do you change your exercise methods depending on climate?

If there's no snow (like this year untill today) then I do my indoor cycling and go walking the dogs for at least an hour each day if only I have the time before it gets dark.

When there is snow, I do the long walks where there is no paths in the snow, great exercise and as I'm a person who is loving the whole winter landscape it's very much enjoyable and fun.

Also do the exercises like sit-ups and similar before I go to sleep or in the morning or both.

My doctor says he wanders around in a mall for 2 hours as a form of exercise and I've had friends do the same. I know another guy who never goes to the gym but he's a full time college student and he carries a 35 pound bag with him everywhere that he goes that contains lap tops, umbrellas etc...

Much harder for me in the winter. When I do exercise, it usually involves walking around the neighborhood. I can't stand walking through the neighborhood when it's too cold outside though, so I usually just stay horded up in the house doing basically nothing all day.

I use all three methods but it doesn't change in the winter. I like to brave the elements, but then again I live in Houston so it doesn't get that cold. The summer heat is relentless though but it's a challenge I accept.

I live in Colorado and we have some weird weather. I still run outside almost everyday unless it is near zero or very windy. The key is to dress for the weather. Always start your walk/jog/run out into the wind so it is at your back on the return trip. It is important to get outside in the winter. A little sun on the face is a good source of vitamin D and being outside is good for ones mental health.

Well when I workout in "winter" its the same as any other season since where I live in California we RARELY or NEVER hit the REAL cold digits. It's been really warm & hot lately. It's best to stay indoors if it's really cold, if you can make it to the gym it would be great if not then home workouts do just fine. It just depends on how crazy the winter weather is.

I go to the gym. I live in a shady city so running outside around the time I get home from school/work is ill advised. So nothing changes. I just keep a schedule, same time every day, no excuses. I know it's coming so I can't make anything up either.

I do less cardio during winter and more weightlifting. That means no running, swimming, frisbeeing etc. But I do have some weights at home and lift those instead.

Sex. Lots and lots of good sweaty sex.

And then I wake up and remember I'm single, get up and go to work. Getting exercise in the winter sucks!

I walk around my neighborhood no matter what the temperature is.

If it's raining, I use my workout equipment in the basement.

[EsperanzadeOaxaca]

at home and around the neighborhood, run more laps during winter lol keeps me warm, but summer I run half and do workouts indoor

[yaddayaddayadda02]

I try to go for my walk as soon as I get home, before the sun sets in winter. During the summer, I go later as the sun is setting.

[beastman88]

i tend to not exercise outside with all the recent polar vortexes. been concentrating mainly on strength training at home not doing as much cardio.

[shumailkazimi]

Usually in my city-Mumbai

the climate is neither too cold nor too hot

but in cold I prefer not to go out in early morning for a jog

[Theguyoverthere]

I go to the gym. I do weight training anyway so I need one to do my workouts.

[TheOneTurv]

Go to the gym, I have too. During the summer I don't need too because I'm outside doing landscaping all day ;P 6 pack here I come

[Phoenix98]

I do body exercises in the house or go to the gym or I tough out the cold and workout in my garage.

[Ariaaa]

I go to the gym and workout from home.

[whattothink]

I go to a gym so nothing changes.

[Anonymous]

I just keep going to my gym, same as usual.
