    I received a free pair of Reebok shoes from the People StyleWatch StyleHunters Network for review. All opinions are my own.

    Wondering what to wear for winter exercise? I'm sharing my favorite tips!

    One of my goals this month is to exercise more consistently. I've been slacking for too long, and it's time to get back on track!

    I prefer to exercise outside, and since I live close to Central Park, my favorite route is a brisk walk around the reservoir. Even in winter!

    I have to laugh, because when I took these pictures on Sunday, New York was experiencing a heat wave. We are talking upper 40's. After the freezing weather we've been getting, it felt like spring (no need for a hat, even).

    Of course, the city was hit by another snow storm yesterday, so it's back to those  winter chilly temps!

    As I've said it before, one of the things that motivates me to exercise is fun clothes.

    So I was super excited to receive a pair of Reebok shoes courtesy of the People StyleWatch StyleHunters Network. The best thing about these shoes is that I got to custom design them from toe to heel. It was so much fun!

    I chose the RealFlex Scream 2.0. There are lots of fun options for colors, and even patterns, but I went with a black base with turquoise and neon yellow highlights. Just a little loud ... ha ha.

    This is a typical winter exercise outfit for me.

    I started with a long-sleeve, breathable t-shirt and a pair of compression pants.

    These are my favorite pants; they're slim and super stretchy. I topped that with a cozy, fleece-lined pullover, and added a pair of toasty gloves.

    As I mentioned, the weather was warm, so there was no need for a hat. And often I don't wear a hat to exercise outdoor in winter. I just get too hot.

    What to Wear for Winter Exercise

    This is my go to outfit for a winter walk or jog. It's warm, but not so much so that I become uncomfortable as my body heats up. Perfect!

    Do you want to head outdoors, too? Here's what to wear for winter exercise:

    • Dress in layers. Wear a jacket over an insulating long-sleeved t-shirt or a pair of regular pants over thermal tights.
    • Look for exercise gear that is specifically made for cold weather, such as fleece-lined pants and hats with built-in headphones.
    • Avoid drafts by wearing long tops, slim-leg pants with a generous inseam, and tall socks.
    • Don't forget a hat and gloves. You can always remove them if you get too hot.
    • Make the most of the snow! Take your kids sledding for an hour or go snow shoeing. Personally, I love cross-country skiing! One of my favorite memories from last winter was seeing all the cross-country skiers out in Central Park after a big storm!
    • Watch out for ice. Stick to sidewalks and paths that are clear and slip free.
    • If the temperature dips below freezing (hello, Polar Vortex, I'm talking about you!), don't risk it. Stay inside and hit the treadmill or workout with a favorite exercise video.

    I hope you enjoyed these tips for what to wear for winter exercise ... I have to give special thanks to my husband, who took these pictures.

    I'm no fashion blogger, and between my uncomfortable poses and his directions, it was quite the photography session. You should see the outtakes. #awkward
