These are all great ideas. I can really attest to #5, since I just helped a friend lay some stone for a fire pit/patio. To move and place the stone, I used the same forms and techniques that I do when lifting weights. I actually experienced more DOMS than I typically do after a strength training session.

I believe it! General physical activity, especially manual labor, is a great way to maintain good fitness outside the gym.
