Cold Weather Walking and Running

Winter is upon us and for most of us, it is time to move our fitness regime indoors. I often used to describe my self as a "fair weather runner." Running in adverse conditions does not appeal to me and besides, isn’t it true that your lungs can freeze while running in extremely cold weather? No, it’s not true. (Too bad--it sounded like such good excuse!) I came across a very informative article written by Wayne L. Westcott, Ph.D., that will answer all the questions you have about exercising outdoors in cold temperatures. You will learn what to wear depending on the temperature and how to warm up effectively for the colder climate--plus a lot more information to get you outdoors this winter. Enjoy!
