I exercise pretty much every day. I swim, walk, run and do yoga daily. I think I’m in pretty good shape.

Yesterday, i trimmed my hedges and mowed my (front) lawn. It was very difficult. My heart rate was nearly 100, I was sweating and felt strained. I was thinking that I wasn’t in that great shape.

It occurred to me that, yes, I can do these exercises, but when I do exercise that I don’t do every day, I’m just as out of shape as someone who doesn’t exercise at all.

Is this true? I seldom play pickleball, so when I do I find it quite strenuous.

This afternoon I need to mow the back lawn….

Have a great day?
