It’s that time of year when the air turns crisp and the temperatures start to drop. The allure of outdoor workouts is alive and well for those looking for fresh air, but some may hesitate to continue working out during cold weather.
Layer Up – wear several layers of lightweight clothing to keep warm. It’s easy to remove layers as you get warmed up.
Warm up – spend a few extra minutes indoors to warm up the muscles and get the blood flowing. One of our favorite ways to warm up is using the Tiger Tail 18” Roller. Roll each major muscle group for 20 – 30 seconds followed by dynamic stretching will get you ready for your workout.
Hydration – Don’t let the cold fool you! Cold air can dry you out, so it’s crucial to stay hydrated. Drink water before, during, and after your workout.
Try a new activity – Snow (if you live in the great white north) allows you to try new winter workouts such as cross-country skiing and snow shoeing. Check out your local sports store to rent equipment or take a lesson.
Indoor Cycling – Grab your water bottle and towel and hop on a stationary bike or an indoor bike class at your favorite workout facility. Indoor cycling is a great way to burn calories and work your leg muscles.
Active Recovery – Cold winter days are a great time to grab your favorite Tiger Tail tool to roll out and stretch muscles. Rolling can break down muscle tension and help improve flexibility and range of motion. You can also incorporate this into your post-workout routine to help with muscle soreness and recovery.
Yoga — Practicing yoga improves flexibility and strength and can relieve stress. Classes are available at your local yoga studio or online.
Circuit Training — Set up a quick circuit at home that includes bodyweight exercises such as squats, lunges, and pushups. Fill in with cardio bursts, such as jumping jacks, burpees, high knees, and your favorite dance moves.
Stay hydrated, warm up before your workout, and cool down afterward. The Tiger Tail 18” roller is the perfect muscle care tool for warming up and cooling down.
