Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Activities & Tips Gardening Stretches Gardening is a great way to get exercise and fresh air – and reduce stress. As with any physical activity, it's important to stretch before, during and after a gardening session. Warm up by walking a couple laps of the yard before doing a few slow repetitions of these stretches. Repeat midway through your work and again when finished. Neck stretch: Slowly bend neck sideways, ear to shoulder, then up. Repeat on other side. Then bend neck forward, chin to chest, and return. Shoulder stretch: Grasp elbow with opposite hand. Pull elbow and arm across your chest. Lower back and leg stretches: Place hands firmly against back of hips and bend backwards until you feel a stretch. Return to upright. Clasp hands over your head, lean to one side as far as you can. Return to upright and repeat on other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
