Clearing snow isn’t only about safety — it can be a killer workout, too. Skip the snowblower and dig out an old-fashioned shovel for some legit cardio and strength exercise. Digging out the front path can burn up to 200 calories per half hour and works the back arms, legs, and core. If you’re not conditioned to heavy exercise, be sure to take it slow to avoid injury.
