Would this work for cardio??


We have been having alot of snow here. I am responsible for shoveling several drives. Is there any reason that this could count as some form of cardio?

If it's getting your heart and breathing rate up, I think it counts as cardio. As long as you're shoveling and not using a snowblower

It definitely counts. The next day you will feel it in your abs and lower back too.

technically, it's not "cardio", it's GPP - ***the*** best overall form of general exercise you can do. i'm about to post a link to an article on this very topic.
