Hi everyone!
I was checking out "calorie expenditures" for everyday activities this morning and discovered that a 200-220 lb. person can expend between 390-429 calories in a HALF HOUR as you shovel snow! Who knew?
I just finished a solid HOUR of shoveling a foot of snow from our driveway and sidewalk, so I just did a SNOWSHOVELING WORKOUT!
It was funny when a guy who was plowing my next door neighbor's driveway asked me if I would like him to do MY driveway. Honestly, I DID give that a thought, but instead answered him that I was doing my morning workout. He looked at me like I had LOST MY MIND! He then said, "OK, but if you change your mind, here's my card and number!"
So gals and guys in snow country...shovel that snow and burn those calories!!!
