Winter is coming. Usually these words instill a deep fear in me. I am not going to lie. I am a summer girl 100 per cent. Give me 30 degree heat and patios. I tolerate fall because it’s beautiful running temperature, the leaves are pretty and I like big comfy sweaters (jury still out on pumpkin spice). But winter? 8 year old me loved making snow forts, sledding, skiing in – 30 degree weather. Almost 30 year old me (AHHH) still loves snow forts but more in 20 degree weather. Anyways this past week really really really stoked me for winter. It was the first colder day of the season, it was rainy and you guys SHOWED UP !! Not just in presence but in effort. And the best is that I even had someone ask suggestions for what to wear when it does become colder which is amazing !!!! Because yes we are weatherproof and trust me you look and feel bad ass burpeeing in -30 snowstorms. And secret – it’s a lot of fun.
So since someone did as about the winter and since it’s buff time, i thought i’d give my suggestions for winter wear !!
1) MITTS . Big warm ass mitts. Waterproof if possible. This is essential for our winter workouts. Burpees, push up, mountain climbers, crab walks, bear crawls. Keep those phalanges warm.
2) BUFFS. It’s buff time. Super multi-funcational, keeps you warm, super cool bad-ass design. Here is some of your fellow tribespeople modeling its versatility.
See super versatile.
3) JACKET. Chicago may be windy city, but Toronto is actually the windy city. A good jacket that blocks the wind keeps your from being Michlen man and needing 50 layers and unable to get into full Hoistee, burpee flexability.
4) WATER: You still need to hydrate, even in winter.
5) CHANGE OF CLOTHES: As soon as you are done the work out you will get the chills. Bring a dry change of clothes to change into.
6) RULE OF THUMB: Dress for 10 degrees warmer then it is outside when you work out. You will warm up. I am a less is more person, you will learn what works for you!
7) SHORTS: Cause duh #teamshorts
Thanks for making me excited about winter and I hope you guys are too! Snowball fight !!!
