workout on cold days

seth042280 · 11-10-2003, 03:38 PM

My bench is outside and tonite is my bench day ..it will be about 45 to 50 degrees outside. I am wondering if anyone has ever worked out in the cold before and if you have had any difference in the workout. not sure if this is gonna be a good thing or not ..I will try to stay warm .

When I was younger my bench was outside, make sure to do a good couple warmups and wear warm clothes.

why is it outside...

you live in your car or something?

not a great idea working out in the cold.

lol vanity .
no I just dont have any room in my condo . since my son was born I had to move everything outside .

I always feel more hyper in the cold. more jittery . like my body is makeing me move around to get warm .

it's alot easier to get an injury in the cold.
be careful.

Prioritize man. Bring the bench inside, buy your son a fur coat and leave him outside.

lmao ! . the cold crept on me faster than I realized . I have to figure out something . my job has a pretty big gym in it . I might have to use this facility until it gets warm again. regardless I will find a way . they dont have barbells but they have plenty of equipment and dumbells.

Almost all of my weight equipment is either outside or in an unheated space. I always do at least five minutes of warm-up on a stair step machine before I go outside, it's hard to get cold when your working hard. Like Mudge said, dress warm. Your skin may be get cold, but believe me your muscles will be warm.

Of course I do live in Texas.
