Winterize Your Workout With Spinning: Pedaling Tip
One of my favorite indoor Winter workouts is spinning. While nothing beats biking on the open road, spinning for an hour burns a ton of calories, with the extra bonus of getting to rock out in the saddle. Similar to running on a treadmill, spin class is a perfect opportunity to focus on your cycling technique.
Winterize Your Workouts: Indoor Track Tips
If you're used to running outside, and the colder weather has forced you to exercise inside, working out on an indoor track is a great option. Many gyms and health clubs have them, and one reason they're a pleasure to run on is that their surface is spongy, so it's easier on your joints. It's the closest you can get to actually running outside because you're using your own muscle power to propel yourself forward, unlike running on a treadmill.
Winterize Your Workout With Spinning

Winter Exercise Tip: Start Your Outdoor Workout Indoors
I love running outside but when it's chilly, those first 10 minutes warming up can be brutal before your blood really gets pumping.
Next time, try starting your workout indoors before heading outside. Jog in place or do some light jumping jacks to get your heart rate up, your blood circulating, and oxygen to your muscles.
