What goes better with a New Year’s resolution of eating healthy than getting more active? No matter your age or mobility level, gardening will help get you moving more!

3. Gardening is a Fun Way to Get Active

While gardening might not seem like an intense workout, it can be surprisingly good exercise. From digging and planting to weeding and watering, gardening keeps you moving and engaged, offering both low-impact cardio and strength-building benefits. It’s a great way to get your heart rate up and burn calories while spending time outdoors, without needing to hit the gym.

As you work in your garden, you’ll find that it’s easy to get into a rhythm, combining physical activity with the satisfaction of nurturing something from seed to harvest. Whether you're pulling weeds, trimming plants, or hauling soil, gardening provides enough activity to keep your body moving in a fun and rewarding way.

Not to mention it’s a good way to get the whole family involved in an activity, even the kids with special tools and activities made just for them!
