Though Fall in Houston isn’t usually very cold, it’s still cold enough for Houstonites to prefer to stay inside with a cup of hot cocoa! To keep up your exercise routine during our city’s mild chill, make sure to follow these helpful tips.

*Before you go outside, dress in layers. Even if it’s not extremely cold, the layers will warm up your muscles as you work out.

*Cover your hands with gloves and your ears with ear muffs. Stay away from heavy fabrics like wool that will only feel too hot for Houston weather.

*Even though it feels cold, your body has to stay hydrated to function properly during exercise. Drink your usual 8 glasses of water, and increase the number to 10 on days when you work out.
