I try to cut our lawns most weeks between April and October. I could use a ride on, but prefer the motorised petrol mower we've had for years. As we have quite a lot of grass I split these so I do about 40 minutes over 3 days when it is hot, and often do it in the evening on a WFH day after logging off. My Fitbit records it as "outside bike", maybe because my hands are held up on the mower handle. Et voila, three days of fairly strenuous exercise, mowed lawns, time outside and I didn't have to pay someone else to do it.

That definitely sounds like a lot of exercise that doesn’t look like exercise!
So insightful! I too am trying to find ways to get more movement in my day, that doesn't "look" like exercise. Appreciate the tips and ideas!
