Dig It!

It is that time of the year when we want to be outside. And it is the perfect time to get out in your yard and do some work. You can get a great workout if you get out there. Different movements like digging holes, mowing the lawn, and pushing wheelbarrows can really get your heart rate up. Just think you can get a lot of work done and burn tons of calories. All that moving is great for your heart, lungs, and circulatory systems. And all that lifting and tugging will also lead to stronger muscles and bones. In just 30 minutes of activity you can burn 200 calories moving the lawn, 182 calories planting tree, shrubs or plants. Digging and raking is more that 150. So get out there and burn some calories.
