Anyone know how good snow shoveling is for exercise?In short, my family refuses to go outside and shovel because they are lazy, so I'm stuck with it, again.
People get heart attacks becuase of.So yeah, it's decent. Still, I wouldn't use it as my main exercise, just something you have to do.
If that's going to be your work out, be sure to switch up the arm you lead with or whatever when you shovel to give both of your arms an even workout.
Assuming you lift the snow onto a bank it's huge exercise. Works the arms, legs, back, heart.
>>29607It's not my main workout, I run four miles a day as well.
anything that involves heavy manual work is a greak work out.
