Did you know shoveling snow is an awesome calorie burner?

I missed my workout twice last week. I was extremely excited to discover the snow I shoveled from my driveway not only counted as a workout, but really burned those calories!

Just google a calorie calculator for shoveling snow (by hand), enter your weight, and voila !

Keep the snow coming !!

    Mowing a lawn, raking, and painting a house are good calorie burners too! :wink: :bigsmile:

    Yeah, I found this out a couple of weeks ago, just googling : how many calories do I burn.......It's amazing, and you just enter your age and weight and it calculated it for me. Awesome calorie burner!! And I've been using that as my exercise almost daily for the past 3 days!! We're getting dumped on!! More for tomorrow too.
