Was talking to my wife about this thread and she commented that changing the irrigation sets everyday is about a 2 mile walk. Guess I can get less excercise during the summer now.
I did one of those "Heart Health" checkups that they perform at the local hospital. It was perfomed about 5 months ago.My spouse worked cardiac rehab for years. These people WERE recovering from by-pass surgery, getting a catheter installed or some other kind of cardiac repair etc, etc. 90% of the guys in rehab would exclaim "I work so had at my X,Y, Z job, I'm getting a terrific workout doing that!". As they slowly, painfully, moved across the rehab floor at 45 years of age. So tell everyone here just how tired you are after doing that job you did today.
Bosoms. Whatever it takes to "get the ol' heart racing".
I work for a specialty division of a rental company.Very few job's make someone out of breath enough to make speach difficult for over 1/2 hour at a time. I used to walk for 1-1/2hrs a day, split wood, work on the farm, etc. That was good. But I didn't notice marked very noticable improvement to gout, body aches, out of breath, tiredness, overall fitness, until I took it to that next level of 1/2hr of stressed breathing, "enough to make conversation difficult". Whatever it takes to "get the ol' heart racing".
Yah, but that's back to blowing snow and splitting wood. A heart attack for sure.Bosoms
Nearly no jobs gets one heart going and stresses it enough to do any good. Most of the folks my spouce seen in cardiac rehab, came from the ag industry.I’m guessing most don’t get the cardio unless they truly workout, run, etc.?
I think of the Dairy side of the farming family and no obesity or heart problems into their 90’s and they would be the first to laugh or chuckle about city folk paying to exercise…
Sounds like very little of todays jobs provide the cardio required?
