I can understand why Apple may be reluctant to introduce snow shoveling as a workout; getting a dozen software engineers from California to get cups of hot coco to trial it would be a tough sell.
Whereas thousands of people suffer from cardiac episodes directly associated from shoveling snow each year, I would love to see Apple add it in as a safety monitor similar to car crash detection if nothing else.
Does anyone know of third party watch apps which can track snow shoveling in the meantime?
There is an app named WorkOther, you can add whatever you want as workout options with it, like cleaning house, washing dishes, and shoveling you want.
