LMAO! Hopefully in time. I am way stronger than I used to be as far as upper-body as I've owned this property for 6 years. I'm just fat. I stepped onto the scales at the doctor's office and it was a wake up call for it to be 280. (I could see 300 right around the corner.) I usually run about 260, but after sitting around all winter I gained weight. (which I usually drop come mowing season)
At any rate, I hopefully have the right combo of shoes, socks, shorts, underwear, shirts, hats, sunglasses, ear protection with bluetooth audio, etc. to stick with it. Comfort and gear is like half the battle. Foot pain/blisters will stop any progress. Mowing grass is my thing. Very Zen-like. I sit on my ass all day doing an IT job and most times I'd rather be outside "playing in the yard". Also, mowing grass is kinda compulsory; once you start an area you need to finish it or it looks bad. The upside of push mowing is less crushing of the grass allowing it to grow in better and constant opportunities to pull weeds and chop them up to improve the yard.
I mowed a whole acre with a push mower for over a year, and it didn't help me at all. Probably because I have health issues and can't move very fast. So I'm back to the riding mower.
Damn bro. TWO ACRES. You gotta be buff as fuck.
