Does farm work count?
Absolutely it counts! We all know it uses more muscles than many sports.

Good, cuz I'm wiped out right now. Been working on a new greenhouse all day. Finished one side, started on the plastic and framing on the other side. It's 25 by 20 foot. The impact drill on a ladder is kicking my butt.
110 lbs bales of hay is my workout. 16 ft trailer once a month.

That'll do it. Tomorrow's workout includes all the animal chores, about an hours worth, and cleaning out 5 rabbit pens, and more work on the greenhouse. Maybe I can get another side completed. I need to pick tomatoes, have a few bucket fulls out there I know. Husband will ride around in the tractor with the bucket and ask me to follow to pick up any downed branches for the burn pile.
Farm sports.
OK...city sports....once upon a time I used to do Judo. Stuck with that for a number of years, then took ninjitsu. Does shooting sports count? Archery?

Pony wrestling for their trims. Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes I am whooped.

Oh how I truly understand this!! In my world, most goats want to fight and struggle. And that goes with meds too.

Got no use for organized sports. I get all the exercise I can stand just working around here.

It's like asking an amish guy if he goes to the gym. Or goes jogging.
I moved a bunch of feed bags and hay earlier this week into the barn. Been stocking up for winter and spring. Normally I only buy enough for a couple of months at a time…not anymore. Too uncertain of being able to get feed and hay.
We got our workout yesterday cleaning out the chicken run. I always shovel it out about 4” or so deep…put a bunch of DE down and then put down sand. We put down 2,000 pounds of sand yesterday. I cleaned the feeders and waterers as well as wiped down the wire sides. It‘s looking good. Had shoveled out and scrubbed down the inside a few days ago. Will be power washing the roof of the chicken house, run, greenhouse and wine shed next.
I timber frame and cut firewood and farm ,sometimes I tote rocks and blacksmith or have to lift heavy iron ,fight with horses or cows on occasion lift trailers. But I really don't have time to train. But, I've noticed , the more I cut firewood, the further softballs fly. Everyone wants you to play ,but no one wants to split wood. No , I don't have time to play ball anymore.
