Physical work is an all over body workout in my book! I break a serious sweat mopping! That’s the kind of workout The Lover does. I do like to climb trees but not sure I’d remember how these days.

I think physical work is the BEST kind of workout – I love using my body for its intended purposes. Sometimes I step back and look at all my weightlifting, tready running etc. and just think how ridic it all is. 100 years ago, I could have chopped some wood – getting a workout and heating my house.

Of course physical work is a workout! and you get a lovely result too!
I remember when I was i culinary school, within a months, I had guns of steel from making hollandaise and mayo (whisking by hand!). No dumbells ever gave me arms like that!

Once I had to move all of our firewood from the driveway to the back of the house. I love that kind of labor. I think I would do well on a farm…with no animals, of course.

I have definitely worked up a sweat while doing housework.

When I shovel snow, I concentrate on form and alternating sides. That’s a great workout.

Last summer, I dug out a lot of sod and put in a retaining wall and garden plot. I gained a lot of upper body strength and core work lifting the wall bricks and soil in-and-out of hand-trucks at the store, in-and-out of the van, and up the hill in our yard. It was great.

I was going to ask the same question as Tiffany. I garden and I can tell you that I DO NOT look like that.

I definitely think that housework, whether indoors or outdoors, is exercise. I have always loved to clean indoors, but for the most part hate yard work. Ironically enough though I love to shovel snow. It is just such a relaxing workout.

Sounds like a nice productive weekend though, I wish I crossed that much off my to do list this weekend!

How do you look cute doing gardening? Sigh….life isn’t fair.

I definitely consider it a workout. When I lived in WV, I would shovel snow b/c it was a great workout. Unfortunately we dont have snow here but I love how strong I felt while doing it.
