 Gardening is a lot more than a valuable hobby or a way to
have fresh vegetables and salads. Research is showing that gardening is an
ideal form of exercise because, in addition to its physical exertion
values, it also has many other merits.
Gardening is moderate, and sometimes strenuous, exercise that incorporates
many important elements of accepted exercise regimes, such as stretching
and stance, repetition and movement, and even resistance principles
similar to weight training, while expending calories.
Gardening provides an adequate and challenging workout, but is not as
stressful to the body as other exercise options, such as jogging or
aerobics. It is still important to warm up muscle groups by properly
stretching before gardening and is imperative to use proper techniques for
lifting objects, bending, or carrying. Also, unlike many exercise options,
you can become involved in what you are doing and still take time to smell
the roses!
Gardening is a great remedy for people with different types of physical
and mental disabilities. There are a lot of gardening technique,
accessories and equipment are being designed and developed over the years to
help the disability population enjoying gardening as well as healing in the
process.
