What type of "Work Out" should I use when shoveling snow?

My sister and I both shoveled snow yesterday and didn't get credit for it on our Watches. I think it's because we didn't select the appropriate workout.

Thoughts or suggestions? :)

Maybe strength training? That’s usually my go-to if there is nothing specific available!

There’s also an “other” catch-all workout selection, I think.

I did it as “other” a long time ago and stuck with it. With 94 ft of driveway and now snowblower it varies by storm. It seems to recognize elevated heart rate.

I just shovel and let the watch capture move and exercise ring credit. I don't think of it as a deliberate workout, which is the only think I use "workouts" for - when I am working out for fitness.

“Other” and one you’re done you can rename it “Snow Shoveling “ if you like. I’m pretty sure it allows you to change the name.
