My grandmother mowed her own lawn (front *and* back) until she was in her
upper eighties. Anytime someone would offer to do it for her, she would say
she needed the exercise.

That is why I haven't broken down and bought a riding mower, as much as
I would love one, and can easily afford it. I really do need the
exercise of pushing that thing around. Unlike shoveling snow, mowing
doesn't trash my back for a day or two.
