Gardening the Smart Way

It’s that time of year when all avid gardeners can’t wait to get into their gardens. There are a few things to remember to keep your body pain free. Firstly, remember that like any other activity, you need to build up your endurance. It is tempting to over do it the first time out. By setting up three different activities that involve different positions and rotating every fifteen minutes, you can avoid a problem before it starts. It is important to change positions, stretch and rest frequently. Remember to use good posture and positioning. Choose tools that fit you and encourage good body positions. When digging, remember to move your feet rather than twisting your back. Be sun smart and remember to drink lots of water.
