"It will take a longer time for your muscles to warm up in cold conditions, so be sure to budget extra time for your warmup," Sexton explained. Both she and Graman recommend doing a dynamic warmup inside before heading out in the snow.
"Just keep an eye on how much effort you're putting in," Graman said. "It's a big shock to the body if you get sweaty indoors and bring it out to chilly weather." Sexton noted that a hot shower before your warmup can help to lubricate and prime your muscles without running the risk that you'll get too sweaty, but a shower is no substitute for some dynamic stretching.
