You know my favorite thing about living in a rural area? I used to have formal gym-style exercise, and though I didn't hate it I never liked it. Now that I'm trying to plant an orchard I get excellent exercise pushing a wheelbarrow of wood chips all over the place. And I never get tired because I'm accomplishing something.
Only downside is that natural exercise tends to not make sexy muscles large. I feel like I'm just getting scrawny, but I swear I can lift heavier stuff now!
