Compared to my normal routine which could take anywhere between 45 min to an hour, the snow shoveling feels like it is so much more tiring...

I think it's comparable to a light jog with a bit of strength training. According to my Apple Watch my heart rate while shovelling ranged between 120-140 which is what I see when I go for a brisk walk with some hills (sub 11 min km) or a light bike ride.
OTOH, my watch gives me ZERO credit for shovelling snow. Yesterday I even got the reminder right after I finished shovelling to check my rings b/c I was behind schedule on my exercise. Fuck you watch!
