WHO NEEDS THE GYM WHEN WE HAVE A CANADIAN SNOWSTORM

A snowstorm means lots of work to maintain the essentials. Tredging home to and from work Friday during the storm took more effort and time. Shovelling some of the 29 cm- 1 foot of accumulation in the Richmond Hill area-Vaughan where the kids live received 34 cm- took more muscle power. With some 2 foot and 3 foot drifts in the driveway, it took awhile to take off the top layers Saturday morning. The road was uncleared. We live on a corner so had a 20 foot wide and 2 foot high band across the driveway. So more tredging to the bank and stores nearby- twice gave me a workout. An emergency call to the hospital and more tredging home in the snow. Some more walking and shovelling today. So does my body feel it? Yes my biceps seem as if I did a good weight routine, my butt feels as if I did many series of squats and my legs are well toned like I have been on a treadmill running! Overall, I feel quite fit! And no membership fee! Glad I have some A5-35 handy to soothe these well worked muscles. Heh bring on the next storm!

  1. I'm just glad we have a good snow clearing company taking care of our walk and driveway. Marg goes to the gym; I wander the house, cooking and cleaning. Enough exercise for my old body!
