You know I think I am going to start a new “fitness trend” call physical labour. Instead of going to the beach and pulling ropes or throwing medicine balls.
you get a shovel or a wrench and you just get tossed into a trade for 1.5 hrs
Discussion
People just don’t know how physically demanding trades work is. But I could see this becoming a trend. Like back in the 1990s thigh master days, you could have never told me the 2000s would have us playing with long heavy ropes and jumping up on boxes for plyo 🤣 🤷♀️ give it 10 more years and bitches will weld for fitness and tanning in one ✅ ✅
I considered putting a sign up in the gyms near me when I had my homestead.
"SICK OF PAYING GYM MEMBERSHIPS? COME GET THE BEST WORKOUT OF YOUR LIFE FOR FREE."
Statute labor used to build the roads. You worked 3 days a month or whatever to help build and maintain roads.
That's what i do for "fitness"
Same, although the freeze put me into to not a good shape so I got to figure out year round work
Trade your plow or snowblower for a shovel?
Nah i am in the bannana belt of canada. We don't get snow that stays. I am thinking wood chopping cause everything will still freeze
Yeah you have long winters.
Only 5 months instead of the 8 back home. I love the banana belt
Still it is long for a break.
I don't know what i would do (maybe winter camping). It is an interesting question 🤔
Wood cutting? Who knows maybe I will cover my wood chip plie so they don't freeze together
The unproductiveness of working out is an important aspect just like meditation. The “unproductiveness” is very advantageous for the mind and body. When working out you are practicing vital human body movements so that when life comes knocking you don’t fall apart. It is not just about looking good. You are training for a better life.
Yes of course. It takes me 15 days or so, to cut the wood i need (without chopping it for the stove, that is another procedure). I guess you will need much more than me so... yes, i guess you found the exercise you were searching. Stay safe though and purchase safety stuff, don't underestimate it
I am in a place of great privilege, we use natural gas to heat here and it costs very little. The wood is a secondary product that i could sell beside the fresh cut flowers, for camp fires ect.
You've got to have a cooler name for it, Ancestral Exertion or something.
Primal Exertion lol
I would love to have a compost aggregation specialist.
