Once a couple inches of snow has accumulated on the ground, remove it before it gets deeper. This protects your back from possible injury from lifting heavy shovels full of snow.
Shoveling snow is a good form of exercise, but you have to be careful. It’s also incredibly strenuous on the heart. It’s typically best to approach snow shoveling by warming up slowly. Additionally, because of the cold air affecting breathing, it’s usually best to minimize your exertion when shoveling.
You can burn anywhere from 370 to 715 calories per hour while shoveling snow. Body weight and shoveling intensity determine how many calories are burned. Someone who weighs 150 pounds shoveling at moderate intensity will burn calories on the lower end of the range. A bigger person shoveling more intensely will burn more calories.
You can treat the driveway with deicer before it snows to prevent accumulation. You can put tarps down on the driveway and then pull the tarps and accumulated snow off the driveway. Light snow may also be swept away with a heavy broom or blown away with a leaf blower.
