    I'm in Wisconsin where it's supposed to be -20 by tonight. I actually don't mind the cold that much (the snow is a different story).

    When I work out, it warms me up and makes me feel good. So the more I do it, the happier I feel.

    And my gym is just up the street - two blocks away. In nice weather I walk; in this weather it's like a 2 minute crawl up there.

    Proper winter riding gear and I get out on my bike unless it's super windy then I just skip it. My gym is heated so I don't really have any issue being cold for a couple minutes while I go out to my heated car and drive to my heated gym. If it's some kind of nasty storm or something I would probably just stay in, start a fire, and eat some soup and call it good.

    I'm in Maine where we too are having sub-zero (F) temps and everything is covered with ice and snow! I layer up, put Yaktrax on my boots and still go out for walks! And yes, shoveling snow gives me more satisfaction now, thinking about the calories I'm burning. Thanks for posting! It's good to know that others are feeling the challenge of coping with this extreme weather! :wink:

    My mom told me it's pretty crazy in Chicago right now. Brrrr! When I was living in Chicago and Michigan where the snow was crazy, I tried joining a gym, but because of the weather I didn't always make it. So I started having some backup workout DVD's and saved FREE videos on youtube. Now that they did away with the time limit, there are SO many great workouts. I loved the hour long ballet ones. Feel the booty burn! But eventually I just did the videos instead of going to the gym. It was way more convenient, cheap, and fun. And with a lot of them you don't need a huge space. Just enough to do a push up. I'm doing T25 right now and it's a KILLER workout. Having the home workouts is great for warmer weather too. It's nice in Hawaii right now, but when the tourist season starts, it can easily take an hour to drive 5 miles (no joke, that was my old work commute and that was the average time), and it can get HOT. So it's still nice to not have to deal with that. As long as you really focus on having excellent form (#1 rule to me) I think workout DVD's are awesome!

    I get exercise outside everyday by walking my kids to school and pulling my 40lb toddler on a sled, amend the rest I do at home, or in the gym. Icy roads dint stop me, we go out unless there is too much snow for me to shovel in the driveway, or the roads are dangerous because if heavy snowfall.

    I live in Northern BC, Canada, -35 today and we got more then 4.5ft of snow in December.
