HEALTH NOTE
The Calendar says we are well into Spring! If you’re like me, you can hardly wait for that first warm sunny day to get out there and make things grow. It seems we like to take advantage of that first perfect day to get it ALL done and so we work from morning ‘til night hauling soil and compost, tilling, hoeing, raking, bending and planting. There’s a lot of physical work that goes into gardening and we are often acutely reminded that our muscles have been on vacation throughout the winter months! As you plan your gardening day get yourself in shape by investing in an initial five to ten minutes for stretching and warm up exercises at the beginning of your gardening day; you can have great payoff as you save yourself from a lot of pain and stiffness later. It’s a good idea to take additional time throughout the workday to repeat some of the stretching exercises as well as ending your gardening day with more stretching. There are many gardening books and internet sites that offer exercises for the gardener, but if you just take a moment to think about the movements you make while gardening you can plan a personalized routine of exercises.
