What are some of the tips to promote effective and safe exercise in the cold?

What will be an ideal response?


Wear several lightweight layers and/or polypropylene/Capilene/Thermax fabrics with a wind-breaking outer layer. As much as half of heat loss can occur through the unprotected head, so wear a cap. In the very cold, wear mittens (rather than gloves) and a wool cap, and protect the face and neck. Exercise against the wind on the way out and with the wind on the return to reduce wind-chill of wet clothing.
