SNOW SHOVELING IS A WINTER ACTIVITY

 Sometimes I feel badly that I do not do real winter sports. Skiing in my youth. Used to skate but now not very good at it.

I decided that snow shoveling is a real winter activity. 

I use several muscle groups that I am now feeling.

Our snowfall last night of several inches became very heavy wet snow.

So shoveling it off the driveway into little snowbanks gave me a good 30 minute workout.

Neatly shoveled.

I am on the corner so end up with a band of snow on the curve that the City of Richmond Hill clears after the main streets are snowplowed. It is a little back hoe guy who does. But see that nice curb. Well when he finishes I have to go out and clear the little row of snow he leaves me. 

I do have a system that I push the snow and do not lift as it is probably not good for my heart.

My arms feel like I have done a minor weight workout.

So I feel that I can now brag. Yes I have a winter activity. Shoveling and salting my 6 car driveway.

IS SNOW SHOVELING GOOD EXERCISE?

 Well a new year brings goals of more exercise.

So after a snowfall, time to shovel the driveway again.

Is it good exercise?

I sure hope so.

WANT SOME EXERCISE- SHOVEL SNOW

Snow, snow and more snow. Shoveling it twice in less than 24 hours. I feel like my arms and legs have had a workout. I don't lift it. I push it to the side. I am always cognizant of the effect on the heart. The emergency rooms will contest to it. Take the activity slow and easy. It can be done in several steps. Being outside in the fresh air is good for the soul. But remember with any wind chill factor to cover exposed skin. Don't want any frost bite! So how is your snow shoveling going??
