Default Keeping warm at winter time

Yeah so it's like 20 'F outside and it's only 3 pm, and I don't have any heat in my dorm room.

I have on 1 undershirt, 1 sweater, and a button down shirt on top of that. My legs don't get really cold, I figure it's because of all the weightlifting I do [I can squat 300lbs, leg extensions of 250-300, etc] so the blood circulation is great. I always wear shorts, even if it's super cold outside, my legs never seems to get as cold as my head or mid-section. But getting back to it, how should I get warmer...?

I know the body produces a little heat itself, but it's so cold it just pierces all my layers and chills me. Any help for a cold mate?


The one and only...

I have the same problem. I'm a sissy when it comes to the cold.

I wear warm socks and lots of blankets and a hoodie and a long-sleeve shirt under that.

A few days ago I had to wear a glove to keep playing games on my laptop 'cause my pinkies were losing feeling, haha.

won't you help to sing

these songs of freedom?

I have a nice warm jacket, an Alabama Crimson Tide toque and a flask filled with brandy in my breast-pocket.

When I have cold, I always take a fleece blanket, it is warm enough. But most of the time my room is warm enough because of the central heating thing.

  • hot water bottle, nice an cheap and man does it warm u up, i put mine under my shirt on the stomach.
  • If you dont like getting up to boil water at 3am u can get these little heat packs that heat up (really well!) when u click a little metal thing inside them. they are also reuseable after boiling them, last for quite a while and are cheap heres a clip of someone activating it, the liquid turns to a white mushy solid inside it and really warm in the process.
  • YouTube - Hand warmer magic gel heat pad pack heat instantly
  • Also blood from your uncovered legs moving back up to the body may lose u heat, cover them up an see if that helps
  • Lots of pairs of socks on
  • Most of your body heat is lost through your head apparantly, so maybe a hat or hood?

I'll second that... I spent a lot of time in hockey rinks growing up, the cold isn't that bad.
