Shoveling the next day is also likely to happen in the morning, maybe slightly after. At this time the blood pressure is rising close to its peak or even already peaking. The riskiest time to do hard physical work.
EDIT: why all the downvotes though? Do some people think doing physical work at peak blood pressure is not risky? It's not an anecdata.
- matte_black 9y agoSo these morning gym workouts are killing us!?
- woolvalley 9y agoHave you tried weight lifting soon after you wake up vs 2pm in the afternoon? The strength difference is telling.
- dazc 9y agoNo. I already know this is not a good idea but, strangely, I wouldn't have previously applied this obvious logic to shovelling snow?
- matte_black 9y agoThere were several years where that was basically my routine. Wake up, eat a bit, go to the gym, weightlift, go home. I’ve been weightlifting for about 12 years though.
