\t\t\t\t\"snow<\/a>Local fitness entrepreneur Jim Barrett has been a member of several fitness clubs and groups and has even started a few. \u201cI have done almost every fitness craze out there,\u201d says Barrett. \u201cFrom Bowflex to Zumba. There are lots of great ways to keep in shape. I am always just trying to stay on the cutting edge, and stay ahead of the game. That\u2019s why I started \u2018Snow Way.\u2019 It is a revolutionary and unique way to get into and stay in shape. Not to mention, it provides a great public service.\u201d\n\nSnow Way is a new fitness group which uses snow shoveling to help members get the most out of their bodies. \u201cShoveling has always been a great way to burn calories,\u201d says Barrett. \u201cWe are now taking it to the extreme, and turning it into a group exercise,\u201d says the former owner of a Crossfit as well as a Thai Bow gym. Barrett says the class is for beginners and experienced shovelers. \u201cIf you have never shoveled before in your life, we will teach you the proper technique. The biggest thing is that we are trying to use strong technique to avoid injury. Some people feel they can just do a Snow Way type class on their own, but without the technique, injuries happen.\u201d\nBarrett says the class is offered several times a week, snow or shine. \u201cObviously, living here in Denver, there is not always snow to shovel,\u201d says Barrett. \u201cIn those cases, we head to areas with lots of sand or dirt and we use that instead. Still the same technique.\u201d Barrett says the classes also incorporate cardio, as shovelers do fun relays, sprints, and runs. \u201cWith Snow Way, you definitely get a total body workout. I know better than anyone that fitness crazes often come and go, but I feel strongly that the Snow Way workout is here to stay.\u201d For more information on Snow Way classes and to offer up your block as a workout facility, go to www.snowway.com<\/a>.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
