The Winter Warrior Workout Routine
The Winter Warrior Workout Routine

When you’re training in the wintertime, you don’t have the resource of the great outdoors at your disposal. You’ve also gotta fill out sweatshirts and long sleeves, rather than T-shirts and tanks. There’s no doubt that a bulk phase is in order to make it happen. The catch is, that you don’t want to add a ton of fat in the process, and when it comes to the family get-togethers, corporate events, and dinners out on the town—it can mean you’ll be throwing a lot of bad food down the hatch.

It’s truly a battle of the bulge during the winter season, but a true winter warrior can pull it off. If we think about going high-lactate for testosterone release and fat burn, with plenty of emphasis on the lower body for calorie burn, and sprinkle in a little low intensity cardio, we’ve got the formula for success.
