Gardening Workout
Ok, so I decided I need to drop a few pounds.
I bought an eliptical machine, weights, heart-rate monitor, health club membership, etc. The big problem with working out is BOREDOM! So one day after 30 min on the hampster whees to eek out a mesily 350 cals lost, I started working in the yard. Since I was all sweaty anyway, I figured why change, and hence I left the Heart rate monitor on. This thing measures your heart rate and also gives you your time that you spend in an aerbbic "Zone" To my surprise, it was pretty easy keeping in the "Zone"... when I went to low. I'd cary something to the compost bin quiclky, and maybe turn it. When I went too high, I'd start pulling weeds To my amazement, I went 2.5 hours without even noticing it! In 3 weeks, I lost about 8 lbs this way, and managed to save thousands of dollars planting my own stuff, shoveling 2 loads of municipal compost, and 4 loads of mulch. Blue skies Brian |
