The Day My Garden Became My Personal Trainer

in Actifit17 hours ago

Today, for the first time in a while, I didn’t lace up for a walk. No scenic trail, no city streets, not even a lazy stroll to the corner store. Instead, I found myself deep in the trenches — literally — working in the garden.

I figured, “How much could this really count?”

Turns out? A LOT.

At the end of the day, I looked at my step counter: 5100 steps. Five thousand steps… without leaving my property. Without walking loops. Without even trying!

There’s something wild about realizing that raking leaves, carrying soil bags, dodging aggressive garden spiders, and chasing runaway flowerpots can outpace a casual 5K stroll.

It’s a good reminder that “fitness” doesn’t have to look like what Instagram or your gym membership thinks it should. Sometimes it looks like dirt under your nails, sore arms, and a whole lot of very confused chickens (long story).

So if you’re feeling stuck, know this: movement is movement.
Nature’s gym is open 24/7, free of charge — and sometimes it even smells like fresh-cut grass.

Nice, garden walking! Congratulations on your unexpected 5K+ steps, brother, that's pretty sweet! I've always far preferred exercise through work and just doing what I do normally, even though I've very much appreciated that when I did it regularly too, especially when I was in capoeira. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I totally agree with you... movement is movement. It's even a double benefit for you ; achieving fitness and working on your farm at the same time. Good one👍
