Run a mile in my snowshoes - Snow Gear - sports equipment - Brief Article - Statistical Data Included

If Nanook can haul his frozen ass over broken ice fields on a pair of secondhand tennis rackets to fill the family larder with blubber, you can strap on the latest snowshoeing gear to shed Four holiday gut. In fact, save for swimming with spawning salmon few winter activities cook as many calories as snowshoeing. So this season, think of 30 inches of snow and subfreezing temperatures as complements to a good workout. Besides, you won't have seal carcasses or norwhale hides to drag behind you (though think of the fat-burning possibilities if you did).
