So busy at work today and a burst water pipe to deal with as well.
All I managed to do was a bit of stretching and a head stand.

WE got a few more inches of snow overnight so I will be headed out soon to deal with it. 
Yes I am in Australia and I am very glad I don't have to deal with snow. The weather here has been quite mild not hot at all. Sometimes the heat comes in February/ March.
Good work all you snow shovellers
it sounds like hard work.I did my chest and biceps this morning and some FARTLEK running in the afternoon. I ended up walking a bit towards the end.
3.5 miles walking outside during lunch today. It was 18 F, but virtually no wind and it was actually invigorating. I enjoyed my walk today.
I think that in german language snow is called schnee, at least that sounds like how I feel about snow now, too many hours shoveling today too, it is getting everywhere and I'm getting nowhere, but sure enough there is lot of sweat so it has to do something
I did notice that belt of my pants is useless now, I should punch at least 3 holes to it, poor belt is hanging completely loose even when set to shortest and I think I have made already 2 more holes to that belt, it used to be just fine without additional holes and there were hole or two to spare when I got it some years ago.

Snow shovelling will have to be my exercise for yesterday. I wonder how many calories it burns up? It must give your arms and lower back a work out.
Got to go and shovel some more now before I start on my yoga.
Update: I did two 20 minute snow shovelling sessions. It was falling faster than I could shovel at one point.
I did an hour of yoga in between.
The sun is out today and it looks absolutely gorgeous out there. Going to strap on my spikes and chains and go for a walk later.

It was more than skiing or swimming, I think it was close to rowing if my memory is not lying much.
I did woke up at 7am and then somehow I was awake but was not, only at 3pm I could get up from that odd dreaming kind of state so no time for exercise today.
3.5 miles walking over my lunch today. It's cold, windy, and snowy.
Friday I did my back and triceps. The back is large muscle groups and it's very tiring.
Today - Sunday I did my shoulders and abs.

I did move snow for 3 hours, we had a loads of it and we got so much that when I opened door it pushed more than 10cm layer of snow. Must be close to 15cm of snow that came at night and it is still falling down heavily.
Also it was kind of heavy snow which I had to really work out to get moving, I managed to move few full loads and then had to rest for a while as heart rate was too high.
So I write it down as 3 hour flat out work out. Sweat was dripping even from outmost layer of clothing, I'm not sure if I could do harder workout, quite exhausted now.

90 minutes walk in the snow.
I worked out that in January I did 90 minutes horse riding, 90 minutes shovelling snow, 795 minutes walking and 1150 minutes of yoga.
Probably no more horse riding until spring but there should be plenty more snow shovelling this month.
90 minutes of yoga today.

2 hours of snow removal, I still need to get some food for cats from shop so that will add some bicycling in snow.
My yard is quite full of snow, there is not much where to put it, so I need to start removing snow from large areas and move it to near forest, that will take many days of shoveling, there is two 10 meters by 5 meters areas that I need to clean up, then I need to remove snow from top of covered wood piles so I can start my spring firewood making project.
I better shop for shorter belt already

I've been forcing myself to do some short stints on the exercise bike, but today's exercise will be shoveling. :nod:
3 miles walking over lunch today
3.5 miles walking over lunch today
I tried a new route on my walk today and got a bit lost so it turned into a 2 hour walk. It was fun but I was glad to get back home again.
I did my legs today. I've been struggling a bit with my hamstrings but I made some progress today.
Walking 3 miles during lunch today
20 minutes shovelling snow and then 90 minutes yoga. I've decided that shovelling is a good warm up for other exercises.
