It is so easy to pile on the pounds (I have photographic evidence) when getting into using the Mac and all the other good stuff! I am more modest however and now take the occasional 'walks' to the local store (listening to all my fav tech podcasts) and now about to purchase a decent bicycle to get some more earnest exercise. Keep up the good work! It is so spooky that when it comes to general health and well being i am in that place too!

I usually do a mix of cardio and circuit weight training. I too came upon the idea of killing two birds with one stone by using the yard work to take the place of weight training with mixed results. I basically just did the work more vigorously and often avoid labor saving steps to get more exercise I found that yardwork can be largely asymmetrical as a work out. Even though I am fairly ambidextrous, I found that I would favor one position when doing things like raking and shoveling snow and was getting weird back cramps and unbalenced muscle strain. So what I've done is mix in a little yoga and strength training on our Wii Fit when we get those extended periods when it is too crappy to work in the yard, which in Vermont is a fair amount of time. The Fit's over emphasis on balance and symmetry seems to iron out the kinks from the yard work.
