you can, potentially, freeze your lungs, but it is rare. it is good for your lungs, and body overall, though, to work out in the cold. you burn more calories because it's tougher for your body to maintain a higher body temperature.

I would like to edit this above post, because of not checking into my facts. YOU CAN NOT FREEZE YOUR LUNGS. i did a little bit of research, and this is a flat out myth that is generally spread by fat people who say you can freeze your lungs in winter and die of dehydration in the summer, and that's why they arent active. there are many marathon runners that live in the canadian arctic and run in temperatures below -30 degrees Fahrenheit.
