I know what you mean RizRan, I was gonna look at rowers and such as it can be a real drag during winter sometimes. I do my cardio alone also, so have to find additional motivation if you know hwta I mean. The chance if injury must go up also and the chances of accident. By the way, for all the folks wondering if breathing in cold air is not good for you. I found this out from an expert (respiritory specialist) the cold air is turned to hot air as soon as it hits the lungs. I'm convinced this isn't the whole story though. I'll find out Jan 21st as I'll be seeing him then with other questions reg deep breathing, respitory problems etc.
