Cardio in the Snow

Today Steve and I rented snowshoes and went to the closed area over by Baby Thunder lift.   We saw lots of animal tracks and lots of untouched snow to play around in.  Within 10 steps, we stripped off our sweatshirts and tied them around our waists.  We took off our gloves.  It was great getting a workout and having the whole area to ourselves.   Just wish we had brought a picnic lunch but was glad we brought water for drinking.

Snowshoeing is suppose to burn over 500 calories per hour.  We found that uphill is very tough, expecially with the deep snow.  We were out over 3 hours.  I was very sad to take my snowshoes back to the rental place.
