push mowing
Unpowered lawn trimming
Push mowing is the act of cutting grass with a push mower—a lawn mower propelled by the operator walking behind it rather than riding or using self-propulsion.
The term distinguishes manual mowing from riding mowers or self-propelled models: I spent Saturday morning push mowing the backyard.
On smaller lawns, push mowing remains common and provides modest exercise.
