Well if you are like me and live on the East Coast, then this weekend you may have gotten your work out with a shovel in hand. Yes, I just got done my Sunday workout in the 12inch plus snow fall in the MidAtlantic and many of you are probably doing the same thing.
A fews thoughts.... First of all please be careful in the snow shoveling.
Many people with heart related conditions suffer heart attacks while shoveling snow.
Shoveling snow will help develop your back and arms, but you need to make sure you do the following when shoveling.
Dress appropriately
Take many breaks- rest to make sure you are not taxing your heart too much.
Do not lift too much snow at one time-Snow is very heavy and can put a strain on your heart and back.
Make sure you bend your knees and take pressure off your low back while lifting the snow.
Push the snow along the ground to avoid lifting too much weight at one time.
Stay safe, Stay warm, and if the gym is closed today, you just might be getting your resistance training from your shovel today.
