How many calories does shoveling snow burn?

If you're going to have to shovel, shouldn't you get something in return? You DO! A way to get your car out of your garage AND a big ol' calorie burn! If you manually shovel your drive, deck, sidewalks, etc. you can burn 400 calories* or more! So wait a few more hours and then get out there and exercise while clearing off your driveway!

*400 calories is based on a person weighing 150lbs. If you weigh less, the calories will be a bit less than that and if you weigh more, a bit more. 

Snow Day Workout!

If you didn't get the gym before it started snowing this morning, never fear, I have just the workout for you. I recommend repeating the following moves (30 seconds each) for at least 30 minutes for the most bang for your buck. But feel free to go longer, or heck, break it into pieces through the day and when you get cold or tired or bored-hungry, go through the workout.

Snow Day Workout: 

Do each move for 30 seconds and repeat until you reach your goal time (or until you are warm, energized or not hungry).
