Brenda and I enjoy snowshoeing during the winter months and find it to be excellent exercise.
If you don't think this type of activity is much of a workout, then how come your muscles ache the first few times you try it?
Brenda uses modern-style snowshoes, quite short and narrow and with a solid plastic-like material between the wooden frames. They perform very well, supporting her above the snow and are easy to walk in.
Mine are traditional Chippewa-style shoes with rawhide webbing.
She also uses adjustable walking sticks that have little baskets near the tips, just like cross-country ski poles. I carry a single cedar staff which I don't really use for keeping my balance but which can be used as a prop to keep from sliding down steep hills.
We both find that we feel great when we snowshoe regularly.
