Cold and exercise don't seem like a perfect match, but did you know that exercising in cold conditions can have an extra effect on your calorie burn? But what exactly does cold do to your body? And does it really help with weight loss? In this blog, R\u00e9mon Koetje, Lifestyle coach at Happy Bodies, shares everything you need to know about exercising in the winter. Plus: how to do this safely and effectively.<\/em><\/p>\n

Chattering teeth, red noses, stiff muscles<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Exercising in the cold? That conjures up images of chattering teeth, stiff muscles, red noses and frozen fingers. Not very tempting, right? Cold muscles feel stiff and increase the chance of injuries, such as sprains and strains. No wonder you would rather drink a hot chocolate than do a brisk workout in the freezing cold. But exercising in the cold also has surprising benefits!<\/p>\n

What cold does to your body during exercise<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Exercising in the cold puts your body to work. It has to use extra energy to keep your muscles warm and to maintain your body temperature. That sounds like a double win: burning calories by moving and by the cold. So, that fresh winter air? It gives your workout that little bit of extra power. At the same time, you have to be realistic. Don't expect miracles: the difference in burning is small, but hey, every little bit helps.<\/p>\n

Stimulate your brown adipose tissue<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cold has another surprising effect on your body: it activates brown fat tissue. This "good" fat converts calories into heat, so that your body stays warm. This process, thermogenesis<\/a>, is like an internal furnace that burns extra energy. The more you train in the cold, the more active this brown fat becomes. But be careful: make sure you stay comfortable. Too much of a good thing leads to injuries rather than results. So keep listening to your body.<\/p>\n

Choose the right winter workout<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Not every workout is suited for the cold. Running, biking, or a brisk walk are great options, as long as you\u2019re dressed appropriately. Wear breathable clothing in layers, and don\u2019t forget gloves and a hat. A good warm-up reduces the risk of injury and helps you perform better.<\/p>\n

What are the benefits of training indoors?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Training outdoors sounds cool, but exercising indoors also has its advantages in the winter. In a warm and controlled environment, you can train more effectively and avoid injuries due to the cold. With training in the innovative Milon circle, you work on strength and fitness in just two times 35 minutes every ten days, regardless of the season. Ideal if you still want to work on your winter goals without braving the cold.<\/p>\n

Consistency is more important than the cold<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Although the cold has a small effect on your calorie burn, consistency in your workouts is more important. Regular exercise, regardless of the temperature, will yield the best results in the long run. Make a plan and stick to it, whether you are training indoors or outdoors. Combine this with healthy food<\/a> and sufficient hydration for optimal results.<\/p>\n
