*sigh* Canadian winter has murdered my routine..help!!!!

As the title implies, Canada has been screwing me lately. YOU KNOW HOW COLD IT IS OUTSIDE?!?!?

 

Anyways, I just need someone to answer one question: Is it safe to be jogging in about 20 - 30 degrees celsuis below? I have heard that it could freeze your lungs or something like that.

 

Thanks for any input, guys!!

Definitely NOT! You could quite easily tear muscles or ligaments running in that temperature - you need to be warm to exercise, otherwise theres an increased risk of injury. So if its that cold, you'll almost definitely damage something.

 

Any gyms open near you? If so, you could use a Treadmill, rowing machine, or exercise bike. If not, you can do burpees, running squats and shadow boxing in your own home for good cardiovascular exercise.

As far as your lungs go Zak, yeah I'd be careful of contracting bronchitis....you should move to Vancouver...

yeah yeah why dont ya rub it in our faces there kickbutt!!!!!! lol

 

i live in ontario where it just FREEZES like you wouldnt believe

[Kickbutt]

 

Sorry Prodigy...wasn't trying to rub anyone's face in it lol - just the opposite, I think snow is WAY better than rain in the winter cause the moisture goes right through you...but I do like the temperate climate here I have to admit and I don't do 30 below too well either cause I have low blood pressure and am always cold. Make a snowman for me hey???

i avoid snow as much as possible.....i was born in canada but my parents are from india so i guess my low tolerance to cold is genetic or something

[Zaknafein]

HEY!! Prodigy!! Your from India too?!?! Nice (

 

Yay, another Desi on this forum!!

Ah, the snow... memories.

 

Jogging in 20 degrees below weather. Let me ponder.......If only...If only I was dumb and stupid, walk on fours, had 2 layers of fur, and bark, then I might consider running in the snow in 20 degrees below weather. Hey, I might even work my ass off and pull a sled for some lazy b*****d. Well, as long as the b*****d takes me to the beach every summer so I can lick ice cream off girls breast.

 

I'm joking.
