Windsor Locks, East Windsor Residents: Check Out This 17-Year-Old's Snow Shoveling Routine

By Jaimie Cura (Patch Staff)

The average snow shoveler burns eight to 10 calories a minute, but something tells me that Brian Johnson of Montville, Conn., isn’t your average snow shoveler.

“I have conjured up a video to show everyone how to properly deal with winter storm Juno that is now coming to an end,” he said via email. “Although we have been hit with a couple feet of snow, it isn’t all that bad unless we make it bad. I decided to get out, shovel, and make it fun through a unique calisthenics edit.”

Scroll down the page to view the video.

The January 2015 blizzard dumped anywhere from five to 25 inches of snow across Connecticut.

Johnson has been training in calisthenics for about a year-and-a-half.

“I find it more fun and enjoyable doing the things with just using my body while gaining muscle at the same time,” he said. “It has become a lifestyle!”

And hey — if you have to shovel snow, you might as well do it in style!
