    Wow. When we had a yard that big, my dad would never mow it with anything less than the riding mower.

    I have done this 2 weeks in a row and it burns the heck out of calories, wait till you log in your exercise. I was so surprised. It is hot while your working, but I felt great afterwards. GREAT JOB!!!

    I mow mine with a push...but I live in the city, so my yard is 36 feet by 85 feet, and 2/3 of that is house and driveway. Takes me exactly...4 minutes to cut it. Takes longer to get out the extension cord for the trimmer!

    I used to live on 1.25 acres. Miss those days, and certainly got a good workout cutting grass!

    Our riding mower needs a new part, but I have been getting such a good workout doing it that I haven't ordered the part yet...LoL.... I guess I am burning calories and saving money too so keep on pushing:)

    I mow my front lwn with an old fashioned reel mower, for the excercise. The large back yard still gets done with the riding mower though. I love the days I push mow, because I burn enough calories for a treat like pasta, pizza or ice cream :-)
