Common Outdoor Chores that Burn Calories
You may not have time to get to the gym every day. You may not be insane enough to try Insanity. You have a busy schedule and cannot even think of adding in one more thing. Yet, there are still ways you can burn calories during your everyday life. Life can be active and we can find ways to stay moving even if there is not a treadmill under our feet. Consider the following ways we burn calories doing every day things.
Shoveling snow: Get your workout at 400-600 calories burned per hour. At this rate you may want to shovel your neighbor’s driveway as well. Heavy yard work: Haul that dirt, move rocks or plant shrubs and bushes for a 400-600 calorie burn an hour.
Raking and bagging leaves: Let’s face it you have to clean out those leaves anyway.

National Oraganic Harvest Month
I am going to ignore that today is National Coffee Ice Cream day and focus on it being National Organic Harvest Month. I love the word “harvest.” It reminds me of apple orchards and pumpkin patches. I love purchasing produce from local farmers this time of year. I also love making fun food from apples and pumpkins. I am blessed enough to live by several apple orchards and pumpkin patches that deliver quality organic produce. If you cannot visit a local orchard or farm this time of year make sure to stop by the organic section of your grocery store. You are likely to find an array of beautiful produce grown safely and which chemicals or pesticides.
