ive just worked out....
im a freezing shed....
my question is if its colder do you burn more....?
must say im quite loving the early morning exercise!....

i've never heard that. in fact, i've heard the opposite. bc you sweat more. That's why some ppl wear heavy sweats when they work out.

I don't know if you burn more, but I do know from experience that being cold makes you run a lot faster.

Hahaha, so true

I read an article about it once, don't really remember. I do know that running when it's cold makes it more difficult to breath because you're breathing in all that cold air at a really fast rate. (ie; during winter) I used to run a lot during the winter and I'd end up feeling sick. Makes sense...

either way - here's an article. No you don't burn more because you should be properly dressed:

no, being cold doesn't make much difference. the body likes to hang on to fat when it's cold anyway so i wouldn't say being cold is ever a plus when it comes to weight loss.
