    Yes, dong anything that requires you exerting force on an object will cause you to look like a she-hulk, and ultimately, unattractive. Avoid all work besides cardiovascular exercise.

    I'm pretty sure this is a parody thread from the thread about shoving snow for cardio yesterday

    Nope, wrong parody. :flowerforyou:

    BTW: Was yesterday's thread funny???

    TIP: The more you shiver, the more calories you will burn. Try shoveling in your unmentionables.

    You guys are HILARIOUS!! I just got my first snow fall for the season today. On my way out to shovel now, I will take some of your good advice in hand! (Like the little shovel perhaps!) LOL

    Just make sure you use a "Barbie" shovel - no worries about bulking, lol!

    Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow!

    Don't shovel snow constantly or consistently though, I read a study recently about how the cold air combined with quick jerky movements (shoveling snow) drastically increases the chance for a heart attack

    You do realize that snow is a 4 letter word! And should never be mentioned in mixed company!

    I spent the last 5 minutes laughing. How many calories do you think I have burned? How should I log this? And did I spot reduce my behind?

    does your behind move when you laugh? :laugh:

    just use one of those little bitty kiddy shovels.... that way you aren't lifting as much and it's more like cardio cause it'll take you 4 times as long to shovel

    THIS is too funny, this entire THREAD is making me LOL!!!:laugh:

    I thought the yellow snow was HCG?

    Never eat yellow snow.........
    Just drink it.

    watch out where the huskies go...

    OK. I'll give it a try! Now I just need to find snow ...

    Can I shovel sand instead?

    Snow, sand. Both are fine, but you lose the shiver factor if it isn't cold out.

    See my HRM hanging around my neck? That's how I track my shiver-driven calorie burn.

    If you're shoveling sand, you can also pound it, if you like. Makes for a great workout.

    I overheard my coworker say that her hair dresser got all bulked up from too much snow shoveling and now she looks like She-Hulk. So I would be careful.

    Taso I am disappointed to find you are not the one who started this post! I sure hope it helps with bulk because we have two really long sidewalks and that snow is heavy.

    It's cold enough that if I shovel (or maybe just pound?) sand in that outfit, I'll be shivering.

    I think the better question is... Is there someone on here who is willing to shovel MY driveway?.. Anyone? I have alcohol.....

    You may want to wear a tank top if you decide not to wear the "outfit" shown in a previous post. I shoveled horse *kitten* this morning and my biceps are sooo huge they tore through my long-sleeved shirt. So yes, shoveling "anything" be it horse *kitten*, bull *kitten*, snow.....your gonna bulk up!:flowerforyou:
