Good afternoon, my reader. How many jokes there are about summer cottage fitness are countless. But there is some truth in each of them, and we all know that gardening is a serious physical activity. If you are smart and technical about their implementation, the dacha can temporarily replace the gym or help you get on the path of a healthy lifestyle.

The daily work of the summer resident involves bending, squatting, swinging, and lifting weights. And the main thing is not to dismiss all this: you can skip a lesson or two in the gym for any reason, but garden work - no.

So which tools to choose, and how to work with them so that the benefits are not only for vegetables, but also for the body? Read about everything in order.

Shovel

In early May, this instrument becomes the most hated for all summer residents. To be in time before the sowing season, the beds are dug from morning to evening, sometimes in several steps. And it works out the muscles of the arms, back, legs and buttocks very well. For the best effect, alternate the leg with which you press the shovel into the ground and the grip of the hands on the handle. This, of course, is not very convenient, but it is necessary to evenly distribute the load.

Rake

The rake does not give a power, one-time load, but monotonously pumps muscles through a large number of repetitions. The main thing here is to take the right position. When removing trash or last year's grass, spread your legs so that you are confidently standing on the ground, usually shoulder-width apart or slightly narrower. Straighten your back, you can bend a little in the lower back and bend your knees. Pick up your belly and row vigorously, bringing your shoulder blades together. Remember to alternate your grip.

Wheelbarrow

The garden wheelbarrow was invented to make life easier for gardeners. She should help in moving heavy loads around the site. But sometimes it turns into a whole test: the car is filled to the top; under the wheels now grass, now sand, now viscous mud, now a narrow bridge. It will take a lot of effort to keep the transport and not scatter the contents. And here's another excellent workout for the muscles of the arms, back and abs.

Ax

Today, when heating in houses is more often gas or electric, and firewood for the barbecue is sold in any supermarket, many summer residents have already forgotten about axes. Next time you want a barbecue, try chopping wood for the barbecue yourself, and choose a larger log. Your body will immediately tell you what a good workout it is. Fix the result the next day.

Well and bucket of water

The youngest are usually sent to the well, and going for water has always been a punishment. First you need to turn the shaft to lift the heavy load up, then pour the water into your bucket, then into the second and bring it all to the house. And this usually happens more than once. Now imagine how the biceps, triceps, trapezoid, wings, lower back, abs and legs were pumped at this time. Have you reconsidered your attitude towards the bucket and the well? Great, then run for water!
