Yard work is hard work. There is no 100% accurate way to calculate how many calories you burn while working in the yard, but judging by my sweat drenched shirt this afternoon it must be a lot. I had planned on running and performing a core workout today, but I decided to do some much needed yard work instead. Though yard work is not officially considered a work out (per the dailymile workout options), it is a great way to get some fresh air, break a sweat, burn calories, and shorten your forever growing to-do list. I say this in an attempt to emphasize that you don't have to go to the gym or neglect your to-do list in order to do something healthy. Whenever your schedule gets hectic, remain optimistic and try to turn what may seem like a burden into a positive. For me, this means turning chores into workouts, because every time my schedule starts to fill up it seems like my workouts are the first thing to get moved to the back burner. Check out these totally unrelated yet hilarious pictures of Scout, my dog, helping my wife practice yoga last week. Enjoy the journey!
Scout loves attention!!
