Got my workout done today!

Since we got snow and we live in on a hill walking wasn't really the thing to do today. I could feel that I needed to get out there to go do something though. So I decided to go shovel 4 inches (or so) of snow off of our driveway.

DH looked at me like I was absolutely crazy for doing it... but I told him I needed to do something and figured why ever not. I didn't strain myself more than I knew I could. I'll admit it was nice and sticky wet snowman snow though!

  • I think in general the rule of thumb is as long as you aren't lifting more than 20lbs you are ok.. I took it easy and didn't get as much on the shovel as I usual would have.

    the general rule is (give or take) nothing more than you can handle. if you're used to carrying 50+lbs every day, you are fine.. the problem is you shouldn't be holding your breath trying to resource energy into the lifting. i think light snow shoveling should be fine.
