Shoveling Snow in the Modern World

Posted by patrick

By Douglas Cordell

The world marches ever forward, and as it does, we find ourselves struggling to keep up. Ironically, by moving as fast as we can, we end up not moving at all. We are stuck in our desk jobs doing whatever it takes to eke out our existence. As a result of this, our physical capabilities slowly become lackluster.

As this type of lifestyle slowly becomes the standard for the majority, we begin to loathe the physical tasks more and more. However, we find that we simply cannot be rid of some physical tasks, such as the task of shoveling the snow when winter comes around.

If you are from one of the colder climates, then you will most likely have experienced the displeasure of shoveling snow. Those who are unused to physical tasks find this activity most frustrating. But it cannot be ignored, as studies have shown that shoveling snow is an excellent exercise. Go through thirty minutes of this each day, and you will stay healthy.

Health is extremely important for us to be aware of in this day and age. Our work stunts our muscle growth, and activities like snow shoveling will at least keep it used. However, suddenly exerting physical strain may do the exact opposite; you may injure your back, or even suffer a heart attack.

Avoid this by taking things slow. Before shoveling snow, exercise for a little. Get your body to realize that you will be exerting effort for the day, and then, start the exercise. Make sure you keep your back straight; bend your knees when scooping snow instead.

Lastly, I must ask you to resist the urge to do things the easy way. Do not buy mechanical snow blowers! They may seem like a good idea, but, like the majority of modern life, it does you no good physically. If you must insist on using the new innovations of our age, instead look for snow shovels whose design has been improved on by technology. it will make the whole exercise simpler and safer; all for reduced cost.
