Real Life Benefit From Reviving A Pond – phase 3
Categories: Blog, Exercise, Healthy Living, Physical Fitness
Re-purpose, reuse, relocate sod, dirt and pond muck to other areas needing filled or leveled. For short distances, I use a wheelbarrow or tarp and rope to transfer the materials and workout my legs. A trailer is used for long distant transfers. A shovel is used to fill the trailer, giving me a mid-section, arm and shoulder workout. Use different size shovels to achieve various weights. Drink lots of water and wear a belt to stay hydrated and protect your lower back from over-stress.
To strengthen the path crossing over the washed-out area, I’ll be adding sticks, branches, extra wood, and old tires to help hold the path together. Throwing tires like a disk and tossing branches and wood stretches the shoulders and builds muscle.
