Ofcourse. That's one of my favorite ways to exercise. Been long I exercise
One of the ways I keep fit isnt through the typical exercise that focus more self. I think if you do enough house chores or other physical activities that solve problems around you, you could reap thesame benefits (and even better) of typical exercise.
I think it's better to exercise the body while solving problems. You kind of use your energy more efficiently in this manner... And that benefits both the body/you and others.
