Shoveling Snow Monitor? (alien.top)

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?

This is almost certainly an awareness issue. Can’t program for an issue that they don’t know exists. I wouldn’t have known that anyone suffers cardiac issues from shoveling snow, let alone thousands every year. Definitely a good idea to suggest it to Apple.
