Other than daily activity, I never paid any attention to exercise. I gained weight, got out of shape and noticed things were not as easy to do as they once were.
When I retired, I found myself bored with sitting and watching movies or playing games. I asked the landlord if I could do some yard work for the exercise and just to get outside. He told me to knock myself out and enjoy myself.
I discovered I really like doing the work and the exercise is paying off. I'm out there when ever the weather allows and spend more time doing yard work than sitting at the computer and feel a lot better. I have now lost nearly 45 pounds in the last year, and the landlord liked what I was doing so much he contacted me to give me a nice discount on my rent. The exercise has paid off twice!
I don't think I would ever have had the same success by going to a boring gym.
