Fall into Physical Fitness

Did you know your backyard is one of the best fitness spaces you have?

Raking leaves for about an hour can burn up to 350 calories.

Taking your furry friend for a run around green spaces can do the same.

Whether you trim back stray branches or clear out the brush, doing yard work in the fall is a great way to get fresh air and stay fit while doing your plants some good too.

Just like your garden, your body needs sunlight to create the necessary nutrients to remain healthy as the cold weather sets in. So grab a rake, or your pet’s leash, and let the fitness begin!
