Now gardening or painting or dragging stuff out of the attic or scrubbing the garage floor seems to have a purpose and also walking the lawn mower around the big yard up here in Ohio. Also, walking around The Villages with daughter Helene is a joyful thing too.
Does it burn the same amount of calories and get your heart all pumping in the same way to just WORK???
I suspect I am wrong but I can't get with going to the gym.

I have to listen to a tape book to do any of the afformentioned activities. My brother offered to give me a membership to curves for my birthday, a large hint. But I can't get off my duff
to finish the work on the house that needs doing so the last thing I am going to do is go to a gym.
But I do know people who love their spinning classes. They say they need the trainer yelling at them for motivation. I can't see paying someone to yell at you. Just me.
