Turning gardening into a complete body workout

11.05.11


Things to remember:

Warm up and stretch the muscles for 15 minutes before beginning a garden chore. You will find that you can garden longer and better if you stretch. When raking, hoeing and weeding, keep the back straight and feet shoulder-width apart. Avoid reaching with a garden tool; keep it close to your body. If you reach the point where the back is no longer straight, move and stand closer to the work area. Turn your feet and entire body rather than twisting or turning your back. Lift objects by bending at the knees, not at the waist. Make your tools work for you. Clean, sharp tools in proper working order are easier to use. Pace yourself and take regular breaks. This can be easily done by setting a timer for 15 minutes. When the timer goes off, stop, rest and drink some water. Many gardening chores involve kneeling. Constant up and down movement puts stress on the knees. Foam kneeling pads, at least an inch thick, provide some protection.
