Now that you know more about what a good workout gardening can be, you need to prepare for it the same way you would any other exercise! Take a few minutes and do some simple stretches to warm up – easy arm circles in both directions and spine twists and bends are ideal.
Take breaks every 20 – 30 minutes if you’re working on your knees for a long period of time and stretch out your back. Support your lumbar spine and lean back as far as is comfortable – it should not hurt!
