Jeez, if we're gonna mention yard work I hafta go back and revise all my posts, I've been a yard-workin' fool the past month. Planted a few shrubs.yesterday, and continued with thatching and top-dressing the lawn.
That sort of schist is referred to as "activities of daily living" not a workout.
Read the post and I referred to it as stretching. Didn't mentioned it being workout. However, Smokepole is correct in that you can get some great exercise doing some activities of daily living that don't entail picking up iron or throwing your body around in a gym.
You are certainly correct, and just "doing stuff", or rather being able to do so, is or should be a primary motivator to stay fit. What all of this, by itself, does not do, is have a profound affect on all of the body's hormones, and hormones are where its at. To be all you can be, you have to embrace the suck, regularly.
