these boots were made for walking...

As many of you know it's ONLY January and NYC has seen a handful of snow storms already! I'm not sure how I survived 2 winters without snow/rain boots but just a few weeks ago I gave in and bought some (pictured). They are super comfy and warm! I feel totally "City" plowing right through puddles and piles of snow like it's my job. We're expecting more snow tonight so last night in my meeting we were talking about how many calories you burn walking vs walking in the SNOW. I was shocked when my leader said it can be more than double!

This morning I was reading an article and came across this,

"The amount of calories burned from walking depends on speed and terrain. Imagine walking from your car to your workplace in perfect weather conditions and on level ground. If you were a 150-lb. person of average build, you would burn about 136 calories per hour with this type of walking. But make that walk uphill in the snow (much like a story your grandpa probably told you), and the rate can jump to over 400 calories an hour."

Who said snow was a bad thing?!?!
