With any exercises like that its always best to end with some stretches, to loosen out all those tensed up muscles.
One of the disadvateges of winter exercising is the cold. People can foreget to warm up them muscles they’re working on before they get started too. Thats a recipe for muscle tightness because those muscle are already tense from the cold.
