Spring is here, and so are the joys of gardening! But with all the digging, planting, and pruning comes the unwelcome shoulder aches and pains. Here are 4 tips to keep you blooming in your garden without the discomfort:
๐ทWarm Up First: Just like any physical activity, start with some gentle stretches. Focus on your shoulders, neck, and back to prepare them for the work ahead. ๐งโโ๏ธ
๐ทPractice Proper Posture: Keep your back straight and bend your knees. When reaching for plants or weeds, move your whole body instead of stretching your arms too far and straining your shoulders. ๐ถโโ๏ธ
๐ทSwitch Tasks Frequently: Avoid overworking the same muscle groups. Alternate between tasks to give your body a balanced workout and prevent any one area from becoming overstrained. โฒ๏ธ
๐ทUse Comfortable Tools: Lightweight, long-handled tools can help minimize the need to stoop or stretch. Ergonomic designs reduce strain on your shoulders and make gardening tools more comfortable to use. ๐ ๏ธ
