Mow your own lawn, rake your own leaves and shovel your own snow. You save paying someone else and also on gym memberships!

That is great if you are a younger person ... older seniors ... not a good idea.
Older seniors can benefit from doing other exercises.
My grandfather worked in his multi-acre garden until he was 90+ years old. It's all a matter of what you're used to doing, I guess. I personally use a reel mower (manual - no motor) and save on lawn maintenance, pollution and get exercise for free.
That's a very good idea. If everybody that's able would do more around their place it would be very good for them & help them stay in shape. I enjoy work. It keeps me in shape plus I walk a mile every day. I have a big garden year round, with lots of flower beds all around our home. I'm a farm lady. I were born & raised on a farm.
When I got married we bought a large farm. I were out there helping my hubby all the time. When I had time I did all our sewing (I had 2 babies), making our clothes & some for the neighbors & friends. I also did some baby sitting & much more. I have never been over weight. I'm retired now, and live in town. People here call me a workaholic.Keep moving, good luck.
Excellent idea! If you look through any old magazine, you can see the push lawn mower being advertised for physical fitness and healthy exercise. I will have to find my old copy to get the words right. This was in the "high end" magazines!
