Shovelin’ Up a Sweat
Posted on | February 26, 2007 |
I’m one of the few people who loves to shovel snow. There’s something really satisfying about getting out into the fresh air after a heavy snow.
But shoveling - while good exercise - isn’t exactly the safest form of physical activity. According to the American Heart Association, “the risk of a heart attack during snow shoveling increases for those who are middle-aged or older and for people who lead a sedentary lifestyle and who have been diagnosed with a heart condition.”
So if you’re heading out the door to shovel, remember to take it slow and easy. Read these two articles for more safe shoveling tips:
