I hate going to the gym and I don’t like playing sports. Jogging utterly bores me.

So what is a desk jockey like myself to do to lose some weight and get some exercise?

Snowboarding, goddammit. I use to be a regular season pass holding snowboarder. After I broke my leg, I only went a few times a year. It’s time to get back into it.

I have read estimates that suggest one hour of snowboarding burns approximately 450 calories. In addition to this caloric burn rate, it works tons of muscles in your body.

Some of the muscles that take a beating are your calves, hamstrings, quads, abs, and back. If I can lose 15 lbs by going up to the mountain 3 times a week, for even 3 hours, that will rock my world.

The first few days up of any season are going to leave you sore, stiff, and feeling a bit worked over for a few days. Lets do it, rockstars.
