OK, so my motivation for dieting isn’t there. Maybe exercise is the way to go about building up a healthier lifestyle?

The thing is - it seems to be such a complex science… What in blazes is elliptical training, for example? Ergogenic, step, aerobics, fartlek training, ballistic stretching - they just don’t mean a thing to me, and to be honest, it sounds terminally boring…

My form of exercise? Digging the garden, fixing fences, carrying toddlers and boulders, mowing lawns… We should be shearing a few sheep pretty soon, which is great exercise, especially if you’re a rookie. Stacking firewood is a good one, and so is moving piles of dirt from one place to another - in a wheelbarrow.
Most of this sounds pretty boring as well, and a lot of it is. To me, the fact that it has a practical purpose (other than burning fat or growing your biceps) still makes it so much more interesting than doing whatever it’s called in a gym, while looking into a sea of other people on machines.
With most of this I get a free tan too, this time of year.
