Coping with the Weather (Part 3)
Tips to keep on walking even when it's hot, cold, or inclement weather

• What you wear is, of course, important. In the cold and precipitation, a base layer that wicks moisture underneath a breathable, water-resistant outer layer should keep you dry and comfy. A hat or hood will help as well.
  
• If it's warm and raining, a jacket can work, but it might also make you too hot. Simply wearing a hat to shed the rain from your face can work wonders on those days. Some people like a tried and true umbrella, too.
  
• If there's snow or ice on the ground, traction will be an issue. Spikes or Yaktrax are an option to consider.
• Sometimes, it's just too nasty to be walking outside, not to mention it can be unsafe. Those days are perfect for walking or exercising indoors (mall walking, riding a stationary bike or bike trainer, or using an exercise video are all good opportunities to help you stick to your exercise plan and be smart about it.
