[...] Kelly: I am assuming that this is an alias name and you are from Egypt. I don’t believe the men will make your lives better either. So those questions are tough to answer. I have never been in your position. You have a strength that most women in America have never had to summon. You are “expected to accept that you will not be treated equally”. It isn’t fair, but in life many things are not fair. If they were we wouldn’t be having this conversation and the world wouldn’t be in the state that it is in. Not exactly what you wanted to hear from me, I am sure. But it is the hand that has been dealt, so how do we change it? [...]

What to Wear for Outdoor Winter Workouts

Cedric X. Bryant, PhD
American Council on Exercise

The coldest days of winter have arrived — but there’s no need to stick to indoor exercise. When you’re outside:

As you work out, more than 75% of the energy produced by your muscles is converted to heat, so you won’t feel cold for long…

blood vessels in the skin’s surface, hands and feet constrict, diverting blood to your core, so vital internal organs stay warm…

and the cold raises your metabolic rate, so you burn more calories than you would indoors. But whatever your workout — walking, running, skiing — you need to dress right.

Key: Layers trap warm air close to your body and allow you to shed clothing if you get too warm.

Guidelines…
For your innermost layer, do not choose cotton — it absorbs sweat, leaving skin damp and cold.

Better: Breathable synthetics, such as polypropylene, wick moisture away from skin. Try: Under Armour (888-727-6687, http://www.UnderArmour.com).

The number of insulating middle layers (cotton shirts, a fleece vest) depends on the weather.

Hint: If hands and feet are cold, add another shirt — so your core has spare heat to share with your extremities. Avoid bulky movement-constricting garments.

For your outermost layer, choose a jacket that is water-, snow- and wind-proof, such as Gore-Tex (800-467-3839, http://www.Gore-Tex.com).

Choose a wool or synthetic skull-type hat that covers your ears.

Opt for wool or fleece-lined mittens so fingers can share heat.

Wear moisture-wicking polyester blend socks, such as Thorlos CoolMax (www.Thorlo.com), and waterproof shoes. Damp feet are blister-prone.

Wrap a scarf loosely around your face. This warms and moistens air, making it easier to breathe.

Helpful: Before you wrap up, protect your face with sunscreen, moisturizer and lip balm.
