1-Pushing a lawnmower:

You may think mowing the lawn is just a tedious weekly activity in many ways it is pushing the lawn mowers actually great exercise for your body one that can burn 135 calories an hour that doesn't sound bad does it on top of that the heavier you are the more calories you burn while doing it for example if you weigh about 155 lb you'll be able to burn more than 160 calories in 30 minutes continue the same for an hour and you burnt about 300 calories if you want to break them in his Seth do so try to set with 5 minutes rest in the middle if you feel too tired don't exhaust yourself working out doesn't necessarily mean you have to run out of energy so what are you waiting for your lawn probably needs trimming anyway go ahead and push that lawnmower.

2-Yoga:
