It’s that time of year again when you can dig your hands into the dirt, spread seeds over the freshly turned earth, and smell the delicious scent of green plants growing. Gardening is very healthy, both physically and mentally.

You can burn over 400 calories an hour just by tending your garden! During that time your body will have stretched, flexed, bent, kneeled, lifted, pulled, walked, dug, hauled . . . among numerous other activities.

It is important, therefore, to GET IN SHAPE FOR GARDENING — Strength, Endurance & Flexibility.
