The sledging workout

Written by Fiona December 23 2009


Sore thigh muscles, abs, glutes and shoulders this morning just go to show the exercise potential of a couple of hours spent sledging with the kids.

It’s also hard to beat this snowtime workout in terms of enjoyment. I’m actually surprised that my jaw is not aching after giggling my way down the hill on a plastic sled many more times than I can count.

Little Miss Outdoors and I returned home yesterday with rosy cheeks, huge grins and a big appetite. While the snow might be causing huge inconvenience to travellers it’s certainly brightening up the start of the Christmas hols for parents and children across the country.
