You know why people are fat

because they use power lawn mowers.

I just mowed my lawn that was about 5 days overdue for a mowing with my manual push mower. I don't think I've ever sweated so much. and my arms are going to be sore tomorrow. Whole body work out.

Re: You know why people are fat

  • and I let my kid mow the street patch and I'm still exhausted.

    that's what I was using... old school manual mower with the reel

  • I'll stay fat, thanks.

  • Lemme get this right...so are you saying that being self-disciplined enough to work out hard even though it sucks, and not being lazy and sitting on your fat ass on a power mower could help someone lose fat?!

    That idea didn't go over well in some other threads.

    that's what we have too.  Thankfully our "lawn" is maybe 200 sq ft.

    I had that in japan, and it sucked. It rained so much that by the time I could mow, the grass was too long. Eventually neighbors took pity and lent us their electric.

  • we have one of those reel push mowers too.  Dh read how bad lawn mower exhaust was and opted for the old school way when we bought our house. Our neighbors teased us but it's good natured.  As long as he mows once a week it is fine.  When he dislocated his shoulder last fall I used it for the first time.  Holy eff it was a workout, esp since our yard is so uneven in spots.  For our last mow of the season I called the professionals and had them do it, mostly because I fear the weed whacker so I just had them do everything.

    dude at the church I used to work at chopped off his fingers with the weed whacker. The pastor asked me to go look for the fingers while they took him to the hospital.  Fortunately someone found them before I did.   I stay as far away from those things as possible.  Weed whackers AND Baptist churches ;)

  • Since I don't have a lawn and therefore don't mow, that clearly explains my extra poundage. :)

    Heh. The rain is why our lawn currently looks like a little jungle. BabyLiu and I will watch H mow with the push mower from the window and giggle. We're mean like that.

  • The neighbors across the street have a push mower. The kid waits until it's really long to mow, and then has to take stabs at the lawn to mow it. It looks painful. I want to tell him not to wait so long to mow, but that probably wouldn't go over well.

    A big old middle finger to you, stupid Nest.

    We have over half an acre of yard that is in really poor condition.  Bumps, holes, you name it, the previous owner used to drive big trucks onto the lawn.  We have a self-propelled push mower, and H just bought a lawn tractor.  I'm pretty sure the lawn would never get mowed if we used a reel mower.

  • I can't imagine dealing with a reel mower. I'm dead from mowing my 1.5 acre hilly lot with a push mower. Oh, and I have a lot of trees, roots and steep drops.
