Looking for a way to squeeze a little extra fitness into your day? Look no farther than your own backyard.Rather than mowing your lawn with a noisy, polluting, self-propelled lawn mower, why not consider a reel lawnmower instead? Reel lawnmowers are making a comeback and it's easy to see why:
  • Reel lawnmowers are quiet and safe, allowing kids and pets to be outdoors with you while you work.
  • People with allergies may see a reduction in symptoms when using a reel lawnmower.
  • Non-motorized lawnmowers let you cut your grass any time of day.
  • These types of lawnmowers are gas and pollution-free.
  • Reel lawnmowers are actually healthier for your lawn.
While they may take a little more effort to push than a self-propelled model, you'll burn extra calories while cutting the grass. And today's models are surprisingly simple -- and peaceful -- to operate.
