So, when you push the mower you are not only pushing the mower you are pushing the mower that turns the wheels, that turns the reel (blades). Typically, unless you are cutting grass which is over grown, pushing a reel mower is the same as pushing a gas mower, when you consider a gas mower weighs 70 to 80 pounds or more and a reel mower weighs between 18 to 40 pounds depending on the model. @Shari, By this we mean unlike a standard gas powered mower where the motor is turning the blade and on some models the wheels too, you are the motor on a reel mower.
