Exercise - dress appropriately
Dressing appropriately is important when exercising in cold weather. Here are some tips to consider:
- Wear several layers, including gloves and a hat. Remove layers when you warm up, and replace them during the slower portions of your workout.
- If it is snowing or icy, be extra careful to not fall.
- Remember, you can still become dehydrated in cold weather, you still need plenty of fluid before, during, and after exercise.
