Layers, layers, layers... as the cardio kicks up, layers can come off, as I cool down, back on :)

Be inside the gym. Or, if you insist on staying outside, thin layers and keep moving/stretching even if not doing a particular exercise.

Layering is important. Any area that is exposed to the elements will loose heat. Hat and gloves will help you stay warm. Wear a material that is not cotton based. Cotton traps moisture and the wetness will suck the heat from you. Find clothes that are polyester, Thermax, Thinsulate, or wool. These materials wick moisture from your skin and help you feel dry thus help you retain body heat.

Avoid cotton socks too. Try socks that are made from wool, merino wool or CoolMax.

For my winter walks, I use toe warmers, Otterlegs fleece leg warmers, and I layer a fleece jacket under my coat.

I like wool as it is warm even if it gets wet and change your socks before going out. even a little dapness from wearing socks indoors can make for cold feet outside.Learned it in boy scouts
