Health Tips for Gardening Triggers Back Pain

HealthNFitness News: Gardening is a great form of exercise, but it can also leave you with a painful backache.

How to maintain garden without hurting yourself:

  • Use correct posture and form.
  • Warm up before you garden with a 10-minute walk.
  • Make sure all of your movements are smooth and steady.
  • Keep your abdominal muscles taut.
  • Lift with your legs (never your back).
  • Don't twist your back while digging.
  • Breathe regularly. Exhale when you lift, and inhale as you lower a heavy load.
