Oh, if only...

During the week I do half an hour on the elliptical cross trainer every 
morning as soon as I get up (I thought it was incredibly extravagant at 
first, but I can't deny the power of having it right in the next room). 
During the summer months I tell myself that weekend yardwork counts as 
exercise. In particular, if someone made an exercise machine that 
mimicked mowing the lawn[1]  I'm sure people would be lined up to use it.

Sadly, stress and caffeine do not have wondrous weightloss effects on 
me. The opposite, if anything.

A

longer[2] than that mower can deal with

and I can be a little clumsy. It just seems like a bad idea.
