I’ve started on the hedge. Will I lose my bingo wings?

I've been out sawing down a shrub which I want to get rid of, may have to wait now for DD to come over with her chainsaw.

When I moved in here over 4 years ago I removed hedges, dug up carpets, black bags, a bucket & various other items. I'm definitely not as fit now but I do have days where I work quite hard & others where I struggle to do much more than some deadheading

I envy you all being able to do so much. I have bad knees and a bad back, so can only do about an hour at a time, and nothing half as strenuous as you chewbacca. Many years ago, though, I used a pick axe to dig out tons of rubble and install a pond - maybe that's what did my back and knees in!

Well, I cut back two very overgrown shrubs today, then cut the back grass. I'm sure it counts as gym time! But then I sat in the garden with a MiniMagnum and followed it up with a glass of wine........

I certainly think that doing all the stretching and physical work in my garden over many years, has prevented me getting bingo wings. But it's made everything ache in the process. Haven't got time for the gym, I did try it but was bored, I prefer being outside in the fresh air.
