It takes some cardiovascular fitness. You are going to end up being fit if you do a lot of snowshoeing, and I think that's one of the reasons a lot of people do it.

I personally use my cross-country ski boots because they fit and they're waterproof. But any big pack boot or smaller hiking boot will work in the bindings. The key is to be waterproof.

We recognize the important role and effort the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports is making, not only among the children in our state but in the communities where we live, to encourage everyone to take action and live a healthier lifestyle. We applaud and support their efforts and also want to encourage children and youth to get active and reap the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
