Layering up for Outside Workouts!
The temperature drop for us in the south can feel a bit dramatic. Texas says 90 degrees for 4 months straight and then BAM 70 degrees for 3 days then straight to 50 degrees. We never have enough time to let our minds adjust! The FIT4MOM Fort Worth Instructor team has all the advice to help our moms and littles prepare for the cool temperatures and outside workouts!
Layering for mama is important! As we workout our body temperatures rise. The layering guide is a great template for how to dress! Not doing cotton for a base layer for mamas is important. Vests are good to help keep core warm, but not overheat. Wicking gloves and a hat are great ways to layer up.
Favorite Workout Gear for mamas:
Wool naturally regulates temperature keeps sweat off your skin so you stay dry and warm! (Bethany's rule of thumb is "cotton is rotten" for working out!). Check out this wool base layer, great Christmas list gift!! This nylon shirt is another great option at a budget price!
Gloves keep hands warm for workouts, running, and while pushing stroller! A workout pair can really help keep warm while feeling normal! Check out this workout glove here.
Leggings are great to invest in! Lulu, Athleta, Old Navy, Target, and BeyondYoga along with so many other brands have great options!
Vests are a great option to keep the core warm while not overheating the rest of the body. Check out these vests here as an example but vests can be found at all budgets!
Headgear is great in keeping the ears warm. Here is a simple example and can be found at many other stores!
Gear for littles:
Littles get an extra blocking from the wind in the stroller which helps babies and toddler stay extra warm. Bundle kiddos up with layers, hats, blankets, and gloves! I keep everything in the car so it is ready to go each class! We can barely find our shoes each morning and sure do not need a missing glove!
Stroller covers are available for extra blocking from the wind. Check out this review of all types of stroller covers.
A simple body suit like this one will help baby stay warm from head to toe! This was used last year by mamas for babies. Again, many can be found at all different price points!
Cooler temperatures are upon us but with preparation for mama and little we will get our workouts in! Products can be found at all price points. Always great Christmas gift ideas for family!
