Outdoor workout in winter: leaving your comfort zone

Hi there my Hivean friends and followers!

I am sorry for using the well worn buzz phrase about leaving one´s comfort zone in the title of my today´s post but it just somehow seemed to be fitting the topic that I am going to write about and the picture that I am going to share with you :)

That´s me enjoying my regular workout at my favorite spot here in Krakow earlier today. Yep, I used the word enjoying and I will tell you why. As you can see, it´s an outdoor gym (the best one I have actually ever used) and yes, it was covered with snow and it was freezing (around -5 °C or 23 °F ) when I was there but to be really honest with you, it was not that big deal for me in fact.

Sure, after having spent the past couple of winters in the tropics or subtropics, it´s not easy for me to switch for this unpleasant Central European winter weather but when it comes to working out or jogging outdoor, I feel quite comfortable once I warm up. But obviously, with most other people, that´s not the case. While this awesome outdoor gym was crowded on nice sunny days (even in autumn), I am usually alone there these days. I wonder why it´s such a big problem for people to stick to their workout routine when the weather is not so favorable anymore. I mean once you warm up, you cannot be cold and there is even this extra benefit of boosting your immune system when exercising in chilly weather so I don´t really get why so many people switch for the indoors when summer is gone.

How about you guys? Do you avoid outdoor workout in bad weather or are you fine with it like me? Let me know in the comment section below, I am really curious to see what you have to say about it ;)
