Something happens to us when the sun shines. Our bodies rev into higher gear and we want to exercise.
Gardening is a great way to do it.
You can burn calories and end up with a beautiful landscape to show for it. Flower and vegetable gardening can burn up to 300 calories an hour. You work the major muscle groups as you dig and turn the soil for mulching and fertilizing. Just lifting and carrying bags of soil and compost uses lots of energy. Then, digging the planting hole and carrying container plants to the garden fully uses the back and leg muscle groups.
