Just cut my yard with a push lawnmower and had to rest 8 times!

That's the life of getting older, sometimes we can't imagine that we are still capable of doing it but when were already doing it , we will just realize it is not like before when were younger. I have some dance routine that I can't attend now for hours of non stop dancing not like before in my mid 30's. I have to stop and rest for a while. I felt sorry for myself but thats life we can't stop aging.

its insane the way the weathr is so warm. tomorrow and thursday, they are calling for humidexes for both days. really? hello, its only march and while some people look foward to the summer, i do not. i hate the high humidiy in the air and also, we dont have central air.

Now is the push mower you used an old fashioned scotts (no engine just human power) or a gas push mower? I know I use the scott's a few times a year and that takes alot of energy out of me. I used to do the front one day and the back another day... it was indeed tiring. We haven't had to mow our lawn yet but we've had very high temps here ourselves.

I'm not sure if I could mow our whole lawn with the condition I'm in. Lately I've been too desk bound (or rather computer-bound) that I'm having less physical exercise. Well, paying for odd jobs are not that costly here in my country so I just hire someone to do the lawn for us. But I think I need to be doing it again by myself. It's actually a good form of exercise and it somehow gives me some sense of satisfaction when I've mowed the lawn by myself

You should never try to mow your grass with a push mower on a hot day and especially if you are not used to it. This can be dangerous. I myself used to mow not only my yard but the neighbors as well and I used a manual push mower. You most certainly would not catch me doing this now. Its a type of exercise I can live without. Please do not attempt to do this as it could result in something not good.

none of us are getting any younger so you have to take it easy but if you was that tired maybe you pushed it to hard. Its proberly better to get someone else to do the manual work or if you are going to do it take it slowly and easy.

GET REEL (there is a pun, intended there!) I MUST disagree with some suggestions, here! The ONLY lawnmowers that WILL make the job easier...are "self-propelled or ride-em", NO matter GAS or ELECTRIC, unless they are self propelled you still must PUSH them! And never, ever would I own an electric...been there, done that..and I exerted more energy fighting with the power cord, than I did, pushing the darn thing! EXTERIOR maintenance, is one of the businesses that I own, here on the Island! I have seven lawnmowers and five weedeaters...and there is NOT an electric amongst them! NOR ever will be! If you insist upon electric...for a hefty price, you can get one that runs off a charge, like my E-bike! I think you should give yourself an A+ and keep up the good work..it goes hand in hand with your diet..dearheart!

Last year on this day there was a blizzard. Today it was 70 lol. I love the weather now I will never complain about that but I do not look forward to having to cut my lawn. It wont be long until I will be forced to. At least my kids are a little bit older so I can have my daughter watch my son while I mow the lawn this year instead of having to wait until I could get someone to watch them while I mowed. If I go really fast I can mow the lawn by hand in an hour. But its exhausting and it usually takes me closer to two hours. I usually dont stop at all unless I need a water break. Its a lot more tiring then it looks. When I'm done I feel like I've run 5 miles lol. I'm hot and dripping with sweat and my heart is beating heavy. Then I have to take a shower to cool off and get all the grass and sweat off me. But I would much rather mow the lawn once a week then shovel snow even once in the winter lol.
