The cold weather hack to boosting your fitness

Exercising in the cold is purported to have a host of health benefits, from strengthening the heart to boosting the immune system.
Recent research suggests another benefit: unlocking brown fat cells in humans which can contribute to burning more calories and aiding weight loss.
Is exercising in the cold the magical health elixir it is considered to be?

    I absolutely love running in the cold...preferably between 20-30F. If you are dressed properly, it is far from discomforting. In fact, today I ran in 22F weather, and overheated!

    it makes you mentally stronger and closer to nature and hardship. which in balance is the key to a long and strong life. same principle in hard workout, fasting, mental challenges etc. we NEED to have regular contact with nature with hardship, because excessive comfort signals to the body that it is not needed, and will die sooner, or live weak, or both. the more tangible, yet surfacelevel physiological benefits is merely an added bonus. but a welcome one because it can help motivate you to get started discomforting yourself.

    A trick to getting started with this is to start with a warm shower, get clean, and then finish off with cold water. Each time, increase the duration spent with cold water at the end.

    How much vitamin D are you getting in minus temperatures? For 1 ... You have very little skin exposed and for 2 ... The sun at the latitude you get snow at is very weak (coming through a lot of atmosphere) It's for this reason when I was in Norway my Dr checked all his patients vit D levels at the end of winter. He said at that latitude you could sunbathe naked for an hour each day and not make enough vit D.

    It's been so cold in general for many months now where I live, starting since mid-autumn (about 25-35F most mornings). I go out every morning no matter what, even one day when it was windy and 13F, for about an hour. No euphoria and I hate every second of it lol. I can't wait for spring to come through. At least it's good to know there are some benefits 😊. Maybe I subconsciously like the pain though, because I feel like I fail the day if I don't force myself out there.

    It’s minus 3 Celsius where I live in the mornings at the moment before work. I find the air at that temp really hurts my lungs, fingers and toes. I just accept i need to find alternative ways to get some cardio and tend to have a bike ride a bit later in the day, then get back to a morning run in spring

    Can I be honest, I live in Minnesota, any days are like death in this state, in the winter. Going outside in the winter. I feel like I’m gonna throw up and my lungs are going to burst. I feel like I have freezer burn on my freaking face, no matter how many layers I wear, or how fast I move, it is disgusting. I hate this state, it can get -30 sometimes. It is not cool, it is not normal, and it is not fun... I sure hope you’re rich to live, in Minnesota. If you need a mechanic, and are a single women. Beware, of these, “Minnesota Winter Vampires.” “28 days of Night that’s Minnesota.”
