Hmmmm I disagree very much that gardening, yoga, and weight lifting are not exercise. They may not be very aerobic but you sure feel different after working a day in the garden and perhaps carrying some dirt bags around and heavy pots then if you just worked at your desk inside. I've worked in the garden on some days and even though tired, I felt very very good...as if I had done a good hike. And yoga and weightlifting are a whole other matter. There is a huge difference between a day without yoga and day with and that is because yoga is performing exercise on our body. You are stretching and deep breathing and your blood is being squeezed throughout your whole body...your glands and organs are being toned. It is most definitely exercise even though it may not be the huff and puff your heart racing a mile a minute kind of exercise. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
