Episode 2608:
Leah Harvath's insightful article explores how gardening can be an effective alternative to traditional gym workouts. Not only does it offer a comprehensive physical exercise, targeting major muscle groups and burning significant calories, but it also provides fresh air, sunshine, and the added benefits of homegrown produce. Gardening fosters long-term commitment due to its enjoyable and purposeful nature, reducing stress and promoting overall well-being.

Quotes to ponder:
"Gardening might just be the world’s best-kept exercise secret. It’s like going to the gym for free while beautifying your yard and growing delicious and healthy things to eat."
"As a pleasurable and goal-oriented outdoor activity, gardening has another advantage over other forms of exercise: people are more likely to stick with it and do it often."
"The group that gardened won hands-down as they reported being in a better mood than the group that read and they also exhibited lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol."
