Many population find it challenging enough to stick to their outdoor exercise plans which time the weather’s luscious. But what if you don’t be seized of access to a gym and it’s really cold outside? Can’t it be dangerous to go out in frigid temperatures?

The surprising answer, is: nope, it’s never too cold to exercise outdoors. At least not according to researchers who’ve studied this subject of investigation.

Safe At Minus Fifty Degrees?
John Castellani is an exercise physiologist, and was lead author of a position paper on exercise and cold get the better of published by the American College of Sports Medicine. In a recent interview with the New York Times (registration may be required), Dr. Castellani argued that it’s never too cold to go outside to exercise. “People go to the poles, people are out there when it’s minus-50 degrees, people do incredible things, and safely. There really isn’t a point in which place you can tell people it is not safe anymore.”

While the ACSM paper and the New York Times article do acknowledge some safety issues, these apparently shouldn’t keep most exercisers at home. And they try to dispel several myths about outdoor exercise.

What relative to Hypothermia?
So don’t people die of hypothermia while they’re out in excessive get the better of? Well, not if you keep some advice in mind:

• Keep moving: You’ll generate much more body heat this way. The position paper points out there is a large difference in body heat privation between heavy exercise and light exercise.
• Watch out for wind and wet conditions: The ACSM paper notes that even when temperatures aren’t as extreme, swimmers and those exercising in the rain can experience a good deal of body heat loss.
• Don’t wear too much–you’ll sweat if you’re overdressed. “You should feel cool before you start exercising,” Dr. Castellani related. “You should not feel comfortable.” (God forbid).

But Isn’t Exercise-Induced Asthma Worse in Cold Weather? Researches, say, no, the cold isn’t the problem; dry air is. By the time the air hits your lungs it’s already body temperature, but it may not be damp enough in cold weather.

It’s suggested you take proper medications and wear “a balaclava,” so your exhaled breath can moisten the air you breathe. (A balaclava is “a knit cap for the head and neck,” according to Mirriam-Webster, fair though it sounds a lot allied baklava, which is a very tasty dessert but won’t help you much with your breathing).

What About Frostbite?
Do make sure you don’t expose your extremities to devoid of warmth temperatures for far-seeing periods of time. Frostbite sets in when skin temperature drops to about 27 degrees fahrenheit.

But What if You’re Just Not Used to the Cold?
Researchers claim it’s a myth is that you have to acclimatize to cold weather; they speech there is surpassingly little adaptation to cold over time.

more of us spoiled Californians who shiver when the thermometer goes much below 60 degrees may find ourselves skeptical. Does that mean we can’t blame our “thin blood’ and are just devoid of warmth weather wimps?

Well, as a wimpy Californian, I have to admit this quote in the Times article gave me pause. Timothy Noakes, another application physiologist, said: “Even in temperatures as low as ten to minus-20 degrees, a runner probably needs to bring about gradually no more than a track suit, mittens or gloves and a hat.”

Minus 20 degrees? In just a track suit? Sorry, no thanks. But what do other people think about getting out there in really cold weather?
