Two Tip Tuesday: Gardening is Exercise!

Gardening is a great form of physical activity and many of the activities performed during gardening can be quite intense. Though these activities will help you achieve the 150min/wk of moderate to vigorous physical activity needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle you will want to make sure you follow our tips here to ensure a safe gardening season.
The first is to make gardening a daily habit! You can do it all at once or break it up into more manageable chunks throughout the day. It's important make gardening a part of your daily routine to build the habit.
Second, make sure you spend a little bit of time warming up, cooling down, and performing some light stretches. Incorporating warm ups, cool downs, and stretching are incredibly important to prevent strains, sprains, and other pains. They will also help you to maintain or improve your mobility making many other activities easier.
