Pro Tips

Sauna 'calories' mostly come from cardiovascular drift (heart rate increase) to cool the body.
Snow shoveling heavy wet snow can be extremely vigorous and taxing on the heart.
Chopping wood is a full-body workout often compared to high-intensity interval training.

Fun Facts

"Shoveling wet snow can burn more calories than a moderate jog."
