And during the pandemic, we\u2019d miss out on most of our chances to <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/the-importance-of-warmth-and-staying-connected\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spend time with people we care about.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But let\u2019s get real\u2014none of this beauty and joy is possible without the right warm clothing. And when it comes to dressing for winter success, more is not necessarily\u2026more.<\/p>\n<p>There are three main rules I follow to stay warm\u2014but not too warm\u2014while enjoying the <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/living-longer-living-better\/7-winter-inspired-fitness-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pleasures of nature in winter.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>1)  Warm Your Core<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019ve found that if the middle of my body is warm\u2014my abdomen and solar plexus\u2014I can tolerate cold temperatures for longer. I invested in a heated vest (powered by a rechargeable battery), which really does the job. But you can achieve the same effect by putting inexpensive hand-warmers in the pockets of a fleece or sweatshirt you\u2019re wearing under your winter coat. I always visualize that inner warmth literally thawing my blood to help it flow smoothly through the rest of my body. This is an entirely un-scientific thought, but it\u2019s a nice warming image on a chilly walk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2)  Flex Your Layers<\/strong><br \/>\nCrucial to proper winter dress is the ability to change it up, to be flexible with how many layers you are wearing as you start to sweat or get a chill. This is all fine and good\u2014until you find yourself walking down the trail holding an armload of sweaters and fleeces. Think about layers that can easily be folded into a backpack if you want a break from them. Many down jackets are warm, but thin because they\u2019re made for layering. Thick cotton long-sleeved t-shirts or flannel button-up shirts are also easily pulled off and tucked into a backpack without weighing you down (which, ironically, would make you feel even sweatier!).<\/p>\n<p><strong>3)  Protect Your Feet<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wearethemighty.com\/mighty-movies\/8-life-lessons-from-forrest-gump-legend-lt-dan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As Lieutenant Dan told Forrest Gump in the movie,<\/a> rule number one of staying safe in wet weather is to \u201ctake care of your feet.\u201d The best socks for winter hiking are quick-drying, moisture-wicking and heat-preserving. That means cotton socks are a no-no, because they absorb sweat and hold the moisture next to your precious tootsies. Look for wool socks or synthetic hiking socks made of polyester or nylon. And be sure your boots are fully waterproofed!<\/p>\n<p>How do you dress for winter walks?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no such thing as bad weather,\u201d goes an old saying, \u201conly bad clothing.\u201d Living in New England as I do, I am committed to the truth of this aphorism.
