Does Exercising In The Cold Burns More Calories ?

The question: Does working out in the cold burn more calories?
The answer: Yes >> but not enough to truly make a difference. It is true that you burn a few more calories in cold weather. This is because your metabolic rate increases to warm your body and that bit of extra work means more burn

But in the context of exercise, not enough to make it count. If you are working very hard, the effort is ultimately what makes the difference, not the cold weather

Duly noted. That said, previous research, published in the journal "Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise" found that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures. And running faster burn more calories. So that's it!
