274 calories burned from a half hour mowing !!! I only burn 150 from a half hour on the treadmill :smile: I wish I could mow the lawn every day!

    How big is your lawn? Lol.

    I think you can actually burn more calories doing jobs aroudn the house than you can at the gym. It's more fun too.. getting out in the garden in the sun.

    You are motivating me to get out there with the push mower today. The grass is knee high in the backyard. There's a good workout waiting for me.

    Hehehe, I mowed the neighbours lawn too! She thought I was being nice, didn't tell her I ate a pizza and wanted to work off some calories!! :)

    I love gardening! I did both lawns on sunday and ached the following day like I'd had a good workout in the gym! :flowerforyou:

    Love it too. A good sweeping really gets that heart rate up.
