Gardening as Exercise

Wouldn’t you love a fun program that gets your body fit, your food fresh, and your mind calm? Jeffrey Restuccio, author of Get Fit Through Gardening, demonstrates a new approach to gardening in which you’ll gain maximum health benefits while planting and tending your garden. If you‘ve always considered gardening a gentle weekend hobby, not particularly worthwhile as exercise, Get Fit Through Gardening will stand that kind of thinking on its head.

This unique exercise program for gardeners emphasizes strengthening backs and knees to prevent injury. Far from traditional gardening, it’s all about the gardener’s needs, health, and muscles -- not the needs of plants. What you grow becomes secondary to how you grow, and the focus becomes gaining maximum health benefits from exercise.

So turn your garden into your own personal fitness center. Grow vegetables or flowers, or use the techniques to tend your perfect lawn. With Get Fit Through Gardening you’ll reap what you sow -- a fit and healthy body.
