Giving up on workout is not an option so we are here to tell you how to dress properly in winter so you can stay fit and healthy. Thus, you have to take precautionary measures that are dressing properly when going for a workout. The dressing is the most important thing because it is what protects you from the cold. Keep up the fitness routine and achieve your goals.
Basics
Have a look at the forecast before packing and leaving. If the weather is a bad workout at home. Try not to skip, it won’t take much time but keeps you healthy. Make sure your body is properly covered because cold can cause hypothermia in no time. The outer most layer is what will keep warmth in and cold out.
Base-layer
It should be breathable and sweat-wicking. Cotton blend fabric or polyester, spandex, etc. are popular options. Refrain from rubbery and plastic-type fabrics. The base layer should be comfortable because it will be with your skin. Make sure you are not getting restricted by it. Breathable and comfortable T-shirts and shorts are fine.
Mid layer
Nice breathable insulating mid-layer will, of course, insulate and keep things warm! No mid-layer on legs for me. Mid layer little loose, not baggy neither tight. Wool, polyester, and some synthetic, fleece fabrics would be nice. It does not matter as long as it is warm. Sleeveless hoodies are also fine, just wear what you like.
Outer layer
This will keep cold out, won’t let moisture, cold, and wind in. Without the outer layer, you cold can get in and cause hypothermia or frost bike by making your sweat cold. This layer should be a loser or just about the same size of mid-layer otherwise with so many layers it can cause restriction which can affect the performance. Of course, we don’t want that, what was all this effort, getting out in the cold for? I personally like zippered layers because it is easier to take them off, except the base layer. However, you can choose whatever.
Layers?
Just make sure all the layers are breathable and of the right fitting. Layer how you feel comfortable because it is you who is going to spend time working out in that. Just don’t wear cotton because it makes you comfortable but is zero on performance. Add more layers if you feel like it or remove it when needed. Try not to remove the outer layer if there is not mid-layer, outdoors! Still feeling cold, go for warm base and mid-layer with full sleeves. Whereas if you feel the urge to remove them quickly, try wearing a breathable base layer like Tank tops or Tees, no mid-layer and waterproof top layer.
The body parts
Our body parts need more warmth in winter because then the flow of blood is towards the core because it is a natural mechanism and important. Wear warm gloves, scarves, hats, and socks that cover your hands, neck, head, and ears, and socks. The socks especially should be sweat-wicking.
Tips
check everything before leaving the house. cotton is bad in winter and summer because it soaks sweat to evaporate. Head and ears are the most important to cover. Wear reflective apparel at night. Wear sunblock and sunglasses because UV rays can travel through clouds. Feel cold, add layers; feel warm, remove layers simple and quick. Follow and keep working out your body would be beach ready.
