Today I had to shovel out my soon-to-be father-in-laws car from the snowstorm last week. (he is in VT and I was borrowing his car) It took me 40 minutes, and after my arms felt like lead weights hanging off of my shoulders. I was all shaky and weak. Despite my mothers suggestion that snowboarding does not count as exercise, I believe it does, and so does shoveling. I realize that for some people shoveling is a common almost everyday occurrence, but for someone who thinks coloring (excuse me, rendering) is a job, shoveling is most definitely a workout.
This does however, raise the question of "what constitutes exercise?" I think aerobic activity that gets your heart-rate up for a significant amount of time, and/or muscle building/flexibility work-outs. So when I decide that my "wii-yoga" is adequate exercise, you just smile and nod mom....xo
