Sure you could hunker down all winter under warm flannel blankets but what fun would that be? I am all about getting outside and embracing all the fun fitness activities winter has to offer. Last winter, I fell in love with snowshoeing and found it to be a great workout.
Of course you have to dress the part! I found all the winter essentials I need to stay warm & comfy on Sierra Trading Post where all the gear is always reduced significantly from retail. I couldn’t believe all the great bargains I found for the whole family.
Planning on doing some skiing, snowshoeing or just playing around in the snow this winter? Shop my Holiday guide For The Outdoor Enthusiast here
I Have loved these SmartWool zip neck tops ($59.99 reduced from $110) and patterned bottoms ($49.99 compare at $100) for years. Tons of colors to choose from.
These Boulder Gear Skinny flare snow pants ($59.99 compare at $130) are super stylish & perfect for all the snow sports
I have had this North Face Thermo Ball Jacket ($99 compare at $199) for a few years. It’s lightweight and warm.

I don’t really get to do outdoor winter sports as florida doesn’t get snow! I do like being outside more this time of year because the weather is much better. It was cool and breezy for last night’s run!

Well…since you’re asking….my favorite outdoor winter sport? Running! (you probably didn’t see that coming, did you?) I love being outside (even when the wind is frigidly smacking me between the eyes). Most of my outdoor runs are less than an hour long, so the cold temps are bearable.
Deborah Brooks says
I love running in the winter as well but last year I trekked around in my snowshoes in the deep snow and it was a great workout
abbey sharp says
When I get a chance I love cross country skiing and snow showshoeing!!
Deborah Brooks says
