I’ve always heard/been told to be careful while shoveling snow, that you’re more likely to have a heart attack. Why would I be more likely then as opposed to exerting myself during normal temperatures?

You’re not *likely,* it’s exertion which puts everyone more at risk of a heart attack. Whether you have one or not has a lot to do with your health but even healthy as an ox people die from simple exertion like shoveling a driveway or swinging a golf club. Don’t let that discourage you from cardio health though that’s very important and the biggest variable when it comes to heart attack risk.
Ironically shoveling your driveway is exercise and does get your heart rate going for a period of time so it’s literally the exercise that you need in order to lower your risk of having a heart attack while shoveling. 🙂
