Daily Fit Tip: Buy a reel lawnmower

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.
