As stated by "GQ Italia", outdoor physical activity reduces blood pressure and heart rate. Training in the cold helps to achieve better performance than indoor training because you suffer less fatigue.

The cold can help you lose more weight because suffering from low temperatures burns more fat. This is due to the chills you feel due to the cold, which can help turn white fat (reserve) into brown fat (to be burned). This means that outdoor training forces the body to burn more calories to maintain proper thermoregulation, which makes physical activity more effective.
