Shoveling snow can slim your arms, tighten your abs and improve your cardiovascular strength. While potentially dangerous for the elderly or ill, young urbanites yield great results by approaching snow removal as they do a session at the gym.
Snow is heavy — and its removal inevitable. The trick is not to approach snow removal with frustration, instead, work it into your schedule — your workout schedule, that is.
While shoveling, concentrate on your form and breathing, stay hydrated and stop when needed.
At the end, you’ll walk away feeling a great sense of accomplishment. You may end up doing your neighbor’s walkway too!
Once you start, it’s easy and fun to keep going. So, bundle up, grab your shovel and hit the pavement — literally.
*As I shoveled my walkway for the third time tonight, I realized how the past eight months of PR training have affected the way my brain functions. You have just read my PR pitch for the benefits of shoveling your driveway.

I guess I should get shoveling. Although I would need some snow to begin.
It’s funny how public relations can get in your brain. I’ve found that when I send out an email, even to a friend, I try to think of the best possible subject line so it will actually be opened.
