Getting fit in the garden

I have found that working in the garden burns a lot of calories. I have a big garden which i am shortening and Spring is around the corner so I hope to burn some serious calories. I will be 69 in June and I still love cutting grass and digging in the mud and I plan on going swimming this summer and I am going to be in a bathing suit. So I am starting my fitness plan now. I was in the garden for 2 and a 1/2 hours today

    I believe there is an entry in the cardio database for "gardening." Heck yeah it's a workout, lotta getting up and down and digging and carrying heavy stuff.
