Easy does it shoveling that wet, heavy stuff. Dh was out shoveling snow on Christmas night, 3 years ago, when we had all that snow, & he was over exerting. He is pretty fit & at the time, 49 years old, & he had a heart attack. You would think it would have convinced him to stop smoking, but no such luck.
I quit smoking the day before my heart attack... I am fairly fit and we live in an apartment complex where the shoveling is done for us...I have to go LOOKING for snow to shovel. Love the stuff.
