EXERCISING IN COLD WEATHER

Don’t let cold weather keep you from enjoying an outdoor workout. Keeping warm is a lot easier than you might think. Just follow the three-layer principle: wear an inner layer of wool, silk or a synthetic fabric to wick away sweat; an insulating layer of wool or a synthetic fabric to keep the body warm; and an outer layer to provide protection from wind, rain or snow. Add a hat or headband and some gloves and you will be ready to walk, run, hike or cross-country ski.
