Navy Fit Week 24 – B

By now, those of you in the more southern states might be thinking it is time to get a light jacket on. For the rest of us, we are pulling out the hat and gloves. Exercising outdoors is still possible during the cold weather. Here are some tips to keep you going.

Stay dry. Dress in layers so you can add and remove layers to stay comfortable. Cold water removes body heat about 25 times faster than cold air. If you allow excess sweat to soak into your cloths, you risk hypothermia. Don’t forget a hat and gloves. Normally, a light pair of gloves do well while under physical exertion. If you find out otherwise, just pull your fingers into a fist inside the glove and that will get you through the workout.

Know the weather. If the biggest blizzard in 10 years will be hitting soon, that marks a good day for a rest.
