A productive way to exercise
I’ve been unable to do my usual walking right now due to inflammation in my Achilles tendon. I’m not in the position to drop $100+ for a new pair of my beloved Brooks Beasts (size 10.5, 2E in case you want to send me a Christmas present, dear reader…), the shoes I wore while dropping 61 lbs while walking every day for 119 straight days back in 2006. My doc wanted me to work out with dumbbells, but do you know how tought it is to work up a sweat with dumbbells and kids that think dumbbells are toys and you’re just “playing” with them?
I’ve noticed, though, that I don’t get too many interruptions while doing chores. Normally, I don’t do chores at a pace that builds up a sweat, unless you count lawn mowing in the summer. But a few months ago we had a tree company take down a dead tree, and asked that instead of hauling it away they just cut it into firelog-sized pieces and leave it behind. A win-win – they don’t have to lift, carry, and haul it away, and I have wood for the winter.
Of course, the wood needs to be split, so I’ve begun working on it for 20-30 minutes a day when I’m home during daylight hours. I’ve got an axe I keep sharp, a couple of steel wedges, and a sledgehammer, and I put them all to good use. Let me tell you, I had no idea how good this could make me feel!
The stress-relief is awesome! Easy to visualize the stressors in my life as I swing that sharp axe down on their heads… uh, I mean, on that piece of wood… 
But as an exercise, it is outstanding. I can feel my heart pounding and I’m breathing hard and sweating and afterward, I have that good-pain feeling my arms, hands, back, abs, pecs, delts, butt, quads… just a great feeling. It feels so good that when I work my pile, I think I’m going to volunteer to start on the neighbor’s just to continue the exercise.

exercise is very important for our health.it can also reduce your Psychological pressure.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
You lost 61lbs just by walking alone? WOW! I mean really, that must've been some walk. How many miles did you average a day? I should try this. Not that I wanna lose some weight but I badly need the exercise. I just wish I were walking up or around nature, like a grass-covered pathway with trees all around instead of concrete and buildings surrounding you. Tough to be in a city with no park big enough like NY Central Park.
LOL, no. I was also dieting, averaging about 1500 cal per day, along with body-weight exercises
Exercise is good of course, but it has to be carefully managed. Not everyone is the same, so what works for one, may not work for someone else in exactly the same way. Try things out carefully and see how your body adjusts.

Productive exercise is something that each and every person should take part in their lives because it's a definite stress reliever. And with all the depression, anxiety, and panic attacks that are steadily increasing world wide we as people need to find another way to release our energy(anger). And productive exercise is definitely a good way to start – We All Have Gotten So Lazy
yes you have to start exercise there are lot of machines in the market but no machines fits you. if you go daily in morning walk and the 1 hour for a walk its very beneficial for you and for your health
Best advise with good nursing with medicated medicine and healing might relive the Pain and solve your agony. May God bless You at the best of Your Time.
Why you are waiting for. You need to start your exercise today. Well i personally feel that its better for you should join gym.
If you are a snorer losing weight helps in reducing or eliminating snoring. I got better nights sleep after losing weight because I did not snore anymore.
Too much exercise appears to be dangerous for your health. In a 1986 study by R.S. Paffenbarger published in the New England Journal of Medicine, 50,000 male Harvard graduates who exercised more or less than 5 hours a week were examined.
Those who exercised more were the most likely to contract prostate cancer.
In another study it was found that 8400 hard-exercising graduates were more likely to die of tumors than non-athletes.
Food for thought!

Thanks for sharing your personal experience with all of us. Exercise is very important for our health. But too much exercise is also dangerous.
I really enjoyed reading through your article, there is quite a bit to digest here but it made for good reading and information gathering, I've always been interested in Health & Fitness which started at a very young age and my idol has been Jack Lalanne you can read about this remarkable man if you google him or go to wikipedia. anyway great information. Thanks Mark
This was very useful
Dropping 61 lbs of weight from walking is a feat. Is this your primary weight losing scheme? I am curious on how your body reacts after you stopped walking for sometime.
Well i think it seems that you are doing quite right. Keep doing like that. Good Luck…..

One of the keys to any successful exercise plan is finding something you enjoy, otherwise you just won’t be able to stick to it for the long term. I like swimming, lifting weights and walking and dislike team sports, so those are what I stick to.

My counselor once suggested that I needed to be more active to help reduce my stress, and he actually recommended chopping wood! I happen to have my own to split, but he said that even if I didn’t I should find someone who needed it and do it for them. It’s tremendous exercise, and really releases the endorphines!
