In winter, people might lessen their outdoor exercise. The days get dark earlier, and it can be very cold! These conditions can make it harder for some of us to get outdoors for exercise. However, cold days can be perfect for outdoor workouts! There are at least three important health benefits to cold-weather workouts.
1. The body works harder in cold weather.
Health experts at the Medical University of South Carolina say the body must make extra energy to keep warm in low temperatures. This means the body is burning more calories and fat.
Your lungs also may work better in cold weather. Researchers at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff found some interesting results in a study of goats.
Yes, I said "goats." But still, their results were pretty interesting.
The scientists looked at how cold-weather activity affected goats. They found that "during the three coldest months, the sedentary but cold-exposed goats experienced a 34% increase in maximal oxygen uptake and a 29% increase in running speed." When temperatures increased in the spring, both oxygen uptake and running speed of the goats decreased.
2. Regular cold-weather exercising may help the immune system.
The winter season is also cold and flu season. Making outdoor exercise a usual part of your workout may help you avoid both colds and the flu. It may strengthen your body’s defense system.
The Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research found that winter workouts can cut your risk of getting the flu by 20 to 30 percent.
3. Exercising outdoors in cold weather may help your mental health.
Some people who suffer from "winter blues", or Seasonal Affective Disorder, may benefit from going outside to exercise in the fresh air and sunshine.
An outdoor workout increases exposure to sunlight. Sunlight helps the body produce vitamin D. And vitamin D produces hormones that brighten your mood.
Dangers of a cold-weather workout
So, there are several health benefits of exercising outdoors in very cold weather. But there are also dangers.
1. Frostbite is one of the most common.
Edward Ward is a doctor at Rush University Medical Center. He explains how frostbite happens.
"When the air temperature drops below zero especially factoring wind chill, things freeze. And that includes the fluids within your fingers or your toes, nose, ears. Anything that’s exposed to that wind chill can be affected by frostbite."
Protecting your fingers, toes, ears and nose is very important. Cold winds affect these parts of the body more quickly than other parts.
Christopher Sampson is a doctor with University of Missouri Health Care. He explains that frostbite can happen rapidly—in less than 30 minutes.
"With frostbite, people can start experiencing symptoms pretty rapidly. On average with mild winds and cold temperatures, it can occur in as less than 30 minutes. With extreme cases, when it’s very, very cold and winds are very, very strong, sometimes frostbite can develop in as little as 5 minutes."
The beginning of frostbite is called "frostnip."
Experts at the Mayo Clinic explain that "with this mild form of frostbite, your skin pales or turns red and feels very cold. Continued exposure leads to prickling and numbness in the affected area. As your skin warms, you may feel pain and tingling. Frostnip doesn’t permanently damage the skin."
But, frostbite can. It can even lead to loss of tissue and limbs.
2. The most serious danger is hypothermia.
Hypothermia is when the body temperature has fallen below 35 degrees Celsius or about 95 degrees Fahrenheit. This happens when your body cannot produce enough energy to keep the body warm enough.
Hypothermia can kill you. There are several signs to watch for before it is too late.
