I do plenty of walking. For aerobics I do a stint on a Bowflex elliptical. It’s a great machine. You’re right about weight training, but I do a lot of heavy weeding too. Pulling French broom bushes on steep slopes is not for wimps.

I read a story in my local news paper of a woman who had 120% of bone density because she liked gardening.

Yeah, yard work counts for exercise.

I wear a heart rate monitor to know my level of effort on every exercise (Polar.com).

I regularly peg it in the yard lol
