I'm going to attempt snowshoeing today. I've done it before...last year...and I made it. I didn't fall over dead like I thought I might. In fact Mr. Soontobeskinnygirl was pretty amazed at how well I kept up. I suffered for it eventually and had to see a massage therapist for a pull in my side. Seems I have a weak core (which I'm working on) and that lifting my leg to snowshoe was pulling things that really didn't want to be pulled.
It's not that I think I'm in much better shape than I was then, but I have been doing knee lifts when working out. I'm also feeling better...peppier and well, truth is he's broken the trail so that in inself is easier. We have a big yard...10 acres or so and he weaves in and out of the shelterbelt (trees), down a few steeper hills and through a field. I plan to take it at my own pace. I don't think I can keep up with him and like last year I broke my own trail back to the house when I thought enough was enough.
According to my Lose It app, 30 minutes burns 392 calories. I'm sure that's not for someone 100 pounds overweight so I'll burn more...
If I can last the 30 minutes....
I'll fill you in tomorrow...

ReplyDeleteI so want to try showshoeing! You kick ass, girl for just going out there and DOING it. :) Doing it with the extra weight is even more amazing. No doubt you will burn some killer calories. Congrats on the nearly 10 lbs so far!!
