Slippery Slopes Workout

A day in the snow is always fun. But a day in the snow down a slippery slope is way more fun with an inflatable snow tube. Yes, you can go to any of the Snow Tubing destinations featured on our blog and have 1-2 hours of fun, but you can also purchase your own inflatable tube, find a slope, bring your kids (so they can carry the tube back up the hill) and enjoy endless hours sliding down the hill.

Tubing is also a great way to get a workout in. Yes, it can be really fun sliding down a hill, but people forget that you have to carry the snow tube up the steep hill just as many times up as you get to slide down. 

Just taking your own body up can be a challenge on your hamstrings and quads, but add an inflatable tube and it can be killer on your biceps and triceps. Trying to keep your balance as you climb (yes sometimes on all fours) up a hill can also be a great way to train your core.

So yes, you can have hours of fun and have a great workout at the same time without even realizing that you are working out. One thing is for sure, you will wake up sore the next morning.
