As the title implies, Canada has been screwing me lately. YOU KNOW HOW COLD IT IS OUTSIDE?!?!?
Anyways, I just need someone to answer one question: Is it safe to be jogging in about 20 - 30 degrees celsuis below? I have heard that it could freeze your lungs or something like that.
Thanks for any input, guys!!
Zak

Definitely NOT! You could quite easily tear muscles or ligaments running in that temperature - you need to be warm to exercise, otherwise theres an increased risk of injury. So if its that cold, you'll almost definitely damage something.
Any gyms open near you? If so, you could use a Treadmill, rowing machine, or exercise bike. If not, you can do burpees, running squats and shadow boxing in your own home for good cardiovascular exercise. |

Sorry Prodigy...wasn't trying to rub anyone's face in it lol - just the opposite, I think snow is WAY better than rain in the winter cause the moisture goes right through you...but I do like the temperate climate here I have to admit and I don't do 30 below too well either cause I have low blood pressure and am always cold. Make a snowman for me hey???

Ah, the snow... memories.
Jogging in 20 degrees below weather. Let me ponder.......If only...If only I was dumb and stupid, walk on fours, had 2 layers of fur, and bark, then I might consider running in the snow in 20 degrees below weather. Hey, I might even work my * off and pull a sled for some lazy b*****d. Well, as long as the b*****d takes me to the beach every summer so I can lick ice cream off girls breast.
I'm joking.
