Does your fitness tend to fade away with summer? You’re not alone. The number of Americans who say they regularly work out tends to fall by over 10% during the cold months, with people reporting feeling less motivated and being put off by frosty temperatures. It’s tempting to join them, but doing so could have big implications for your health.
On the flip side, it’s proven that winter workouts can be highly beneficial. Of course, it’s always good to exercise, but doing so in the cold can be even better for endurance, as the body stays cooler and the heart doesn’t have to work as hard.
