Morning manual labor has me the strongest I've been ever!
I've been doing chores around the house and the garden early morning everyday so it doesn't interfere with my business and other matters, and that's been really paying off physically and gastronomically. I now eat almost everything (about 90% ) from the garden.
What I ordinarily would work some hours a day for (in terms of buying organic produce) at an office I get working about 1 hour in the garden. While our washing machine (which uses 100% herbal laundry soap) isn't somehow hooked up to the main food area, I have to haul the water, and water the stuff manually. I'm still figuring out how all the wasted water can be hooked up (it's pretty far) and still installing rainwater bla blas.
I know, it's some work being made there, but I went a round of boxing and stickfighting yesterday, and my pows are much stronger! With a more varied set of chores now (doing my own laundry since our labandera went back to the province!) I'm doing more than the usual lifting and digging-- like wringing laundry and hanging heavy stuff up. It also involves a lot of bending and stretching. All this for about an hour to an hour and a half everyday, the time I would have spent doing some exercise that doesn't get any jobs done.
I'm loving it so much.
