Exercise Tips For Training In The Winter: Plus Snow Returns To Houston

http://newwarriortraining.com

Dude, I can't believe the weather guys/gals finally got something right, with this unpredictable weather in Southeast Texas. When someone says the word snow in Texas, the most you'll get out of us is a cynical laugh. However, after a 2 year hiatus, snow returned to the Lone Star State.

I can can see how some of my fellow warriors in colder climates may not have the motivation to get up and go train. However, don't let a little something like snow, keep you from making big gains & reaching big goals.

Check out this video, as I give you a few ideas on training in the winter months, avoiding hibernation weight gain, and totally get amped up on the return of snow to H-town! Be sure to check out my lyrical/vocal homage to the snow, at the beginning of the video. It should clear up any confusion as to why I am the "Peoples Fit Coach," and not the next winner of "American Idol."

I know you guys/ladies are hardcore, and live in a "punk-free" zone. So tell us, in the comment section below, how you stay fit during the cold winter months.

what exercises do u reccomend if u do not have any wieghts or weight sets?

[joshone]

You can never go wrong with bodyweight training. Mix up pushing & pulling exercises (i.e. various push ups & pull/chin ups). Mix up plyometrics & calisthenics (i.e. the exercises I just mentioned, mixed with plyo exercises like jump squats, hops, plyo push ups).

Also, if you don't have weights, no worries. Pick up something heavy like 5 gallon drums or water bottles filled with sand (or water :-) & perform farmers walks, etc.

Be creative, have fun, & other than being safe, there are no rules!

Sincere, what about outdoor cardio in cold weather? Hill sprints? Is it unhealthy to do cardio in freezing cold air?

[joshone]

As with any weather conditions, you should proceed with caution. However, how, when, and where you train is dependent on not only the weather conditions, but your personal conditioning.

Hill sprints would be interesting; however, I don't know if it's a good idea if the hills are icy :-)

Is it safe to train in the cold? Depends. Folks do it in cold-air friendly countries like northern Europe all of the time.

[joshone]

I will admit, cold air will do wonders for your cardio conditioning.

Just make sure you are dressed appropriately for the conditions, as well as, make sure you're well hydrated...even in the cold.

Most importantly, train smart, and be safe.

Those 3 moves can definitely keep the winter fat away, and keep you strong and lean. Great choices. Thanks for sharing.
