Cold weather walking

I'm trying really hard to make myself go for a walk this winter when I can - man I hate winter - what I find is my muscles don't work nearly as well and it's more difficult to walk a shorter distance than when I walk in warmer weather. This morning I could only go about a mile and a half - when normally I walk at least three miles now.

Does anybody else have this - or is it just me?

no way, not a problem for me.  putting gas in the truck, walking from a warm truck to store is all the outside walking I do.  Damn I hate winter.  I did get a new Leslie Sansone tape yesterday tho, it even has a one mile run on it.  I havn't tried it yet, been too busy.  you go girl, that is great, your muscles are tighter, soyour probably getting an even bigger workout.

I walk inside on a treadmill or the inside track at the YMCA so I'm not having those issues. sorry

I'm not getting out to walk or jog much in this wonderful...ahem...weather but the last time I did...a few weeks ago, I noticed I couldn't go as quickly and I DID tire out faster!  Thought it was just me?!?!?!   Not sure if because the air is colder, maybe we can't breathe as deeply and supply our working muscles with enough oxygen??  Just my thoughts?!?!?!   I'll stick with the inside stuff for now........enjoy the cold!!!!!!    SHIVER, SHIVER, SHIVER!!!!!!!!   Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I dislike winter and really can't stand the thought of walking outside right now for any length of time, so I haven't tried! lol   I'll stick with my Wii and hopefully join a gym soon.  I have no excuse about that because I have 3 in a one mile vicinity of my house!  I could even walk to those, but I won't be doing that until Spring!! I hate being cold.

I HATE  winter and refuse to go outside to exercise, so I have bought 3 tapes in the last month trying to find one I will do consistantly, I love to walk and run outside so it is tough,  My DIL gave me a month at Curves for Christmas, will do that when I get back from Baltimore next week, get me ready for my vacation! I really want to lose the last 10# for my Century card before I go but at the rate I am going it is maybe a stretch, but with Curves maybe...
