Benefits of working out in the cold according to university

This results in a powerful workout that is good for the heart.
Fitness expert discusses winter workout pros, cons and tips with Briefly News
Briefly News contacted Reneilwe Pooe, an Exercise Specialist registered with the Register of Exercise Professionals in South Africa (RepSA). He has a Higher Certificate in Exercise Science and an Advanced Certificate in Exercise Science from the Health and Fitness Profession Academy (HFPA).
"The pros of exercising in cold weather are that higher exercise volumes and or intensity are easier to tolerate as the cool air prevents excessive sweating or heating. A con to working out in cold weather is that one might not be able to gauge their hydration levels accurately. This might impact training strength negatively as water intake and training strength have a cause-and-effect relation," he said.
"If you are looking to exercise in the cold effectively, you may consider a proper warm-up on the rowing machine or assault bike to raise total body temperature before proceeding with your compound lifts (things like bench-press, squats and deadlifts) at the end of the day all exercises function the same in that they stimulate muscles causing the growth potential regardless of the weather."
