The site is listed in this category.

http://www.dmoz.com/Health/Fitness/Advice_and_Guides/

This site is about turning lawn care into fitness techniques but not exactly a a guide that gives much advice about fitness as a whole.

This site also contains gardening tips which is also not relevant to the category Advice_Guides category.

This site fails so be relevant to this category making it more lawn care relevant than fitness.

The category would be more relevant in this category.
