Snowshoeing-- just the cardio kick - 01/23/07 05:19 AM
Strongly recommend if you snowshoe for a long distance (ie. under 10 miles) or up hills/mountains, it's a serious workout. We did snowshoeing in one of the National parks surrounded by mountains..for 7 days....we went out daily for 3 hrs. or so.
We usually go snowshoeing several times annually.

Hey, we have something in common! I love snowshoeing, we just have not had enough snow for a few years. I am going this weekend, with or without snow.
I learned how to snowshoe a few years back, when I took a group of kids winter camping. We had a blast, and I have loved it ever since.

I miss snoshoeing. Did it as a kid. Sledding on the hills is what I miss most. Did that about 10 yrs ago with a friend. We were like two kids again. We laughed all the way up and all the way down

We have to have snow to do that. It sounds like so much fun but we rarely get snow.
Chick, your post reminds me of sledding a few years ago. I was a kid all over again. I recommend it.

Seems that we don't get much snow in Minnesota anymore, either. In the past 10 years, there has only been enough snow here to snowshoe 3 times. As much as I enjoy it, I am not going to travel for a few hours just to work out. Heck, most of the time, it takes so much effort to cross the street to work out.
