Snow shoveling is both a weight and cardio workout. I don't shovel snow as I have 2 boys who are trying to earn every penny they can for vacation. It looks like they might make a few dollars this weekend. Good for them bad for meYou need snow. With snow, you can shovel and that burns plenty of calories. I shovelled out yesterday, and this weekend we're getting another snowstorm. So that will be my cardio workout for the week, and it's nice to be outdoors!
