Did a bit of gardening as exercise… 😉

After quite a bit of walking during my work week (which was the source of a minor calf strain that I’m still feeling), I managed to get to the weekend! Yey!

So to recover a bit, I told myself there would be no rowing, no running and no active walking but a bit of gentle gardening.

So all my patio vegetable plants are now all in their place, and I have had a gentle workout, both in the morning and afternoon. The sun was shining, and there was some gentle, slow walking involved between corners of the garden, getting soil from the compost heap to patio, etc.

But the low step count, I felt, was well deserved.

Happy walk-about, everyone. Enjoy the long (UK) weekend.

What a relaxing time. We haven’t got the sun here at at all last 2 days. Enjoy your weekend.

🍏We had a late afternoon coastal walk and felt warm and balmy without the rain or wind!! Well done on getting the veg sorted & gentle workout! Hope the calf strain heals up quickly!! Enjoy the rest of the lovely long weekend! 🎶

thank you! Calf strain is disappearing fast! But still taking it slowly.

Very envious of coastal walks, as we are landlocked!

My lady does "a little" gardening at every opportunity! Hours & hours of wandering and digging and planting and staring into space. She does fitness routines too, but this is her major workout.
