🍂 Fall Yard Work: The Coziest Workout You Didn’t Know You Were Doing
There’s something grounding about a crisp fall day: fresh air, golden leaves, and that satisfying feeling of getting things ready for winter. But while you’re tidying up, your body’s getting a serious workout too!
🧹 Raking leaves works your core, shoulders, and arms, and boosts coordination.
🌱 Pulling weeds or garden veggies builds grip strength and balance, plus flexibility through hips and knees.
⛏️ Shoveling or hauling debris tones your legs, glutes, and back — hello, full-body strength!
💧 Bonus benefits:
* Just 30–45 minutes of steady yard work can burn 200–400 calories, depending on pace.
* Sunshine gives you a healthy dose of Vitamin D.
* Being outdoors lowers stress, clears your mind, and boosts mood.
So grab your rake, put on a cozy hoodie, and let your yard (and your body) thank you later.
🌿 Strong body. Clear mind. Cozy heart.
