Skiing, skating, sledding ... whatever your winter passion, you don't have to give it up when the mercury drops into the "It's how cold?" zone.

Exercising in the cold might be safe, but that doesn't mean you don't have to adapt when ice, snow, and frigid temps strike. Forbes has several tips for avoiding wintertime injuries, including warming up, conditioning specifically for your sport, and knowing your limits.
