Hey guys, I want to add snow shoveling (you can tell what part of the country I'm from :-) ) to my exercise but not sure what to add it as. Aerobics?? I'd appreciate any input. Unfortunatly, snow shoveling isn't on the list. Thanks!

    You could probably relate it to dead lifts right?

    There is snow shoveling under the cardio menu. Just type in shoveling and there it is!!! This winter I got to lots of that in the Washington, DC area!!

    Hi krissybohaczyk... you could classify under one of the following. "Cleaning, heavy, vigorous effort" or "Calisthenics, cleaning light/moderate effort" (and/ or Calisthenics (push ups, sit ups)..." Make it work for you... because you are working a little bit of everything-abs, back, legs, arms...(total body). Unfortunately, it's not exactly aerobics because there's not much cardio involved-(is it?). Well, I hope this is helpful and best wishes on that snow shoveling adventure!! FaithDiva

    you can also go to this website and figure it http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/iwc go to the left side and click on calculator
    then go to center and click on caliores burn( I
    belive that is what it is under) but you will see it
    you need to enter your weight and then scroll down
    and select item and enter time spent doing it then
    go to bottom and calculate..:wink:

    Thanks so much for this. What a great resource! I am also sick of snow. I look forward to being able to put in gardening/even grass mowing as exercise instead of snow shoveling!:flowerforyou:
