Hey Chicago, pull out that smart phone and snap a picture of your favorite “Snow Angels” on a clear sidewalk. Or, call out the “Snow Flakes” by sending pictures of their walks of shame. Email submissions to bigshovels@gmail.com. Tell us where and who you are and we’ll send you a Big Shovels magnet.
Along Logan Boulevard I spotted this Snow Flake who clearly took the time to clear their own path while leaving the public path to the elements. Boo.
Step off the elliptical trainer. Save yourself the trip to the gym. Instead, simply pick up your snow shovel and head out to the sidewalk.
According to the Surgeon General’s Report on Physical Activity and Health (1996) 15 minutes of snow shoveling counts as moderate physical activity, half of the moderate physical activity that’s recommended for most days.
A 170-pound person will burn about 250 calories shoveling for 30 minutes.
From here, it looks like we have a shoveled walk…..
Just kidding, this shoveler only cleared the path to their own car.
