Sarah has recently gotten back into yoga but her new home in the mountains means it's a lot colder on the mat than it used to be.
Gab is a big fan of swimming in winter and says there's nothing like the rush of cold water on a crisp day (once you've acclimatised that is).
So are there benefits to exercising when it's cold?
On this episode, Gab and Sarah look at how the body responds to a winter workout and the science behind cold water immersion.
