outdoor cardio during the winter?

raffycanlas Posts: 54 Joined: 2005/01/25	2006/09/26, 10:14 PM well i live in ct, and i can no longer pay for the gym due to financial troubles, all i have is a large baseball field where i run around to every morning, i walk 30 minutes to get there, run around the field for about 10 minutes, and walk 30 mins back home, my question is, will i burn the same amount of fat and calories in the cold winter as i did in the summer?

Just make sure you dress in layers! Nothing like being outside on a clear cold crisp morning.....love it!

They usually sell for inexpensive and is a great work out. -------------- Thinking of a new signature line. Ivan Montreal Canada (City of Festivals)
