Active days vs cardio?

samanthagreen3

Hiya! Seeing as spring is just around the corner, I have been out in the garden, weeding, turning over the soil etc trying to get it lovely for the summer! I usually spend a bout 2-3 hours out there and im knackered when I come in doors and do not feel like getting on the treadmill later in the evening! Is it enough to just do the gardening and leave the treadmill for that day? I've got quite a bit of weight to lose and i do enjoy the garden more than the treadmill! Does anyone else have this sort of thing? i.e Do you still do cardio on housework days?
