Good morning, 

So maybe you just never thought about all of the exhaust 
pouring out of that oily, old lawnmower you've been pushing 
around your yard every weekend for years. But what is the 
solution? Do they make hybrid lawnmowers or maybe models 
equipped with catalytic converters? 

No, but you can buy a lawnmower with zero emissions that 
will actually improve your health while you use it. You 
guessed it...reel mowers are making a comeback, and modern 
designs are easier to push and cut better than ever! 

Scroll down to find out some of the advantages of cutting 
your lawn with a push mower. 

Thanks for reading,

* If your house sits on a couple of acres and you maintain 
your lawn yourself you probably aren't going to use a push 
mower. However, if you are like the millions and millions of 
Americans who have a manageable yard in the range of 6,000 
square feet or so a push type mower is an excellent choice. 

* Modern design reel mowers are not at all hard to push. 
Most models weigh around 17-20 pounds while power mowers 
weigh about fifty pounds or more. Yes, you are powering 
the blades yourself by pushing the mower, but the lighter 
weight offsets the difference.

* You can even add a grasscatcher. However, you can safely 
leave the clippings on the lawn every other time you mow. 
They usually disappear in a day or two. 

* How many calories will you burn using a push reel lawn 
mower? Here is a chart showing calories burned while mowing 
for one hour: 

          push
         mowing    sitting 
weight   1 hour  idle-1 hour

 130      323        88 
 140      348        95 
 150      373       101 
 160      398       107 
 170      422       115 
 180      447       122 
 190      472       128 


* Zero emissions, no gas or oil to buy, no motor to repair 
and a great workout. You can buy a reel mower for $100 to 
$200 depending on the make and model.
