We can’t be perfect all of the time. Some days (or maybe every day) you just won’t be able to face trekking to the gym to pump some iron. However, there is a cheat’s option: doing those odd jobs around the homestead can build muscles just as effectively as a session in the gym can. Laying stepping-stones in the garden, making that tree-house that little Billy’s been on at you to make (using hand tools instead of power tools, of course), reorganising the junk in the loft, and so on, will test your muscles in a wide variety of ways. And certainly won’t do your fitness any harm in the long run. To avoid the real risk of injury, it is vital that you take all the usual safety precautions as regards bending, stretching, lifting, etc. that you should take when doing any form of exercise. But the ‘odd job workout’ provides a unique bonus that you simply can’t get from any other workout – millions of brownie points with your other half. They will think that you’re perfect … even if you know better.
