I like to "garden" using a chainsaw. That's a pretty good workout.

When I lived in areas that had a lot of snow, I enjoyed the workout of shoveling snow. Always felt fantastic doing it and afterward, so much so that I'd often fantasize about shoveling the entire neighborhood if I had enough time.
This reminds me of the ex Google programmer who switched to a job in the lumbering industry: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/c1rcu/iama_person_with...
Problem is with that type of regime, you'd end up with no garden left and some really annoyed neighbours.
the closest neighbours are several hundred metres away, and the garden is large and located in a very fertile area. It only gets attacked like that a couple of times a year. It's not something you'd do every night after work.
Oh to be able to run around a garden with a chainsaw. Sadly I like in a block of flats, and you'd be glared at for smoking outside. Lucky you.
