Shoveling snow = Good exercise

This I know. For my husband told me so. The several hundred feet of walkways on the dock we manage are covered in snow this morning. And while I don't anticipate too many people using them this week, they still need to be shoveled. Matt set off to start shoveling this morning, and I asked him if I could help. He said, "No, you'll freeze." Then he paused and said, "It does burn calories. I'm sweating out here!" Sigh. But, I don't feel like shoveling snow!

So, what's the moral of the story? If you despise cold weather as I do, yet you have to get out and work in it - i.e. shovel snow - at least you're doing something good for your body. If you love the cold and the snow, then you're in luck! What better way to burn off some of those unneeded and unwanted pounds gained from all the holiday fun than by playing outside in the fluffy white stuff. At least the sun is shining! Shovel away!
