Mowing the lawn is something just about everybody has to deal with. It is a chore, no doubt, but this chore can be extremely beneficial for your health. Mowing the lawn with a power mower burns a pretty impressive amount of calories. Of course the actual effectiveness depends on many things such as the temperature outside, the size of the yard, your weight, and age. There are also other things you can incorporate into your weekly lawn mowing routine to maximize the calorie burning power even further, such as putting weight bands on your wrists.
