I'd like to add that when I started cutting wood for the first time (as opposed to buying it all previously) I lost about 20 pounds that first spring. Now sure it won't be the equivalent of all the exercise one should do for a whole year, but if your doing it all yourself from felling, and swinging an axe instead of hydraulics, its certainly can be a workout (no extra fluffing it up needed). As someone who has run marathons, climbed mountains, etc, some of my very hardest days ever have been processing firewood. Of course there are easy ways and hard ways... I was kind of forced into do it the hard way, and solid 2 day killer sessions from sun up to sun down. At least for the last few years, not any more.
