February has brought a lot of snow to much of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions this year. Instead of letting snow stop you from exercising, use it as part of your work out. The following are some great winter workouts:
| Exercise | Calories burned per hour * |
| Cross Country Skiing
(moderate) |
544 |
| Ice Skating | 476 |
| Shoveling snow | 408 |
| Skiing (light) | 340 |
| Skiing (moderate) | 408 |
| sledding | 476 |
*Calorie burned estimates based on a 150 pound person.
So, embrace the season, dress warm (see “How to Dress for Winter Workouts”), get moving and have fun doing it!
