Shoveling heavy snow is quite a demanding activity that requires excellent strength, flexibility and cardiovascular conditioning. While shoveling yesterday, I thought about the many physical and physiological challenges it presents. I also considered the level of fitness necessary to shovel without creating injuiry, pain or heaven forbid a heart attack. Yet, there are many deconditioned people who put themselves at risk without thinking about the serious consequences of something as absurd as shoveling.
The new year brings bad weather, which brings a rise in accidents and health related issues. My best recommendation is to be in the best shape that you can possibly attain, because you need your health and fitness. Being in great shape means being independent. It means that I will shovel my own walk for as long as I can without relying on anyone else to do it for me – lucky me!
