Working in the garden can be great exercise and has all the benefits of getting out into the fresh air and sunshine.
For many people, gardening is the only real form of exercise they get.
Care needs to be taken when returning to the garden after the inactive winter months:
Before you start, make sure your tools are right for you. Ask advice at your garden centre about the height of the spade, hoe or fork you should be using. There are lighter ranges, long-handled ranges and those with ergonomic handles. It makes sense to try different types and find the ones for you.
