According to my Fitbit, 20 minutes of mowing the lawn qualifies as exercise. But three hours of dusting and vacuuming does not.

Walking the Walk
True indeed. I do the treadmill at 2.9 mph, and go for 2 miles. That's fast enough and long enough for me.

The Elliptical
Santa brought Liz an elliptical for Christmas. To save room in his sleigh, Santa brought it only partially assembled. Santa's elves, who moonlight at Sports Authority, assured me that "it was extremely simple to put it together the rest of the way. Three, maybe four parts maximum."
.
Santa's elves lied. When I opened it, there were fourteen pages of assembly instructions, and a couple gazillion parts - albeit, that includes nuts, bolts, washers, etc.
.
I am extremely mechanically uninclined (and disinclined). I can screw in a lightbulb and shoot a staple gun, but that's about it. So this project quickly stressed me out. I've learned there's only one thing to do when that happens. Go to a bookstore for a couple hours and forget about the task at hand. Which is exactly what I did.
.
Liz, OTOH, is quite mechanically inclined. So while I was gone, she took Phillips screwdriver and Allen wrench in hand (those were the only tools required), and set to work putting the elliptical together. When I returned, she was just in the process of plugging it in and testing it out.
It was three days before she stopped walking around the house with that smug look on her face.
