I'm always cold, even when I'm overweight. I dread the winter. But for a while now, I've been pushing myself workout-wise--first C25K, then 30-day shred. And even though the weather is getting colder--I'm not! I never paid attention when people said exercising raises your metabolism. I figured it wasn't enough to make a difference, weight-wise. But I never thought about body temperature!
Working out will definitely do it! I am warm for hours after my TTap workout, it's great for getting circulation back into my fingers and toes when Raynaud's hit me, too

im generally cold all the time, even in summer....after a workout i'm warm for another hour or so but then i just get cold again...i'm sure it's more related to possibly anemia or some such thing...i think i'm just always like that

I also have Raynaud's. At first I wondered if it was a sign of another health issue, but I learned that the syndrome is not uncommon in otherwise perfectly healthy women aged 50+. Sometimes all it takes for my index finger to go white is for me to handle an ice cube for a few seconds.

I have the same problem. I am COLD ALWAYS. My BF calls me the ice queen. But i think it runs in my family. We all thought my mom's hands were always cold because she smokes, but my whole family has the same problem. There was a question if i was anemic but I never got it tested
For once, not cold--I think due to working out
