I usually do 30 minutes of very brisk walking on the treadmill each night. However, given that I was lucky enough to come home to 6 inches of heavy wet snow covering my driveway, I shoveled instead. Do you think 45 minutes of shoveling constitutes exercise for today?

    YEP! I think that shoveling is just as much a workout as some workouts.

    Heck yeah!

    I am totally counting my 45 min of shoveling this morning as my workout for the day! Here in Northern NJ we only had abotu 2 inches but there was a layer of ice on top of it making it very wet and heavy.

    I definitely count shoveling as a work out! We've been hit with storm after storm the past few weeks and I break a sweat doing it. I did 30 minutes today and put it in my exercise diary.
