Cooler temperatures mean you will burn more calories
Your heart works harder, and as a result, your endurance improves as your heart strengthens
Stronger heart, more oxygen circulating, less aging
Your immunity is better - you are half as likely to catch a cold if you exercise in the cold
You are inclined to drink more water (great for wrinkles)
As you are working harder in the cold, there are increased levels of endorphins, serotonin and dopamine (the feel good hormones) so your mood is great
Less sweatiness (a great way to ward off hot flushes)
Cooler weather is more invigorating and your energy levels will be higher post exercise
Curbs the winter weight gain (the average person puts on 4kg of winter padding)
Keeps the comfort food consumption in perspective
You are stimulating your parasympathetic (recovery) nervous system (vs your sympathetic fight or flight system) and managing your stress levels
You are not breathing and touching other people’s germs on gym equipment (gross)
You are preventing injury from fun but demanding winter sports such as skiing and netball
You will be having fun in spring while everyone is feeling miserable doing the next fad diet
You can stay out as long as you like without getting sunburnt
More time to exercise as you can exercise all day without needing to worry about avoiding the hottest part of the day
You will be getting your daily dose of Vitamin D
You will be avoiding SAD – believe it or not this an acronym for yet another syndrome called Seasonal Affective Disorder
You will stay warm for several hours after exercising thereby reducing your power bill
As less people are exercising over winter, you will get more attention from your group personal trainer
