Educating Enid - do warm up exercises even before gardening.

[Nilsam]

Even my inner ego, Enid, was happy when we found these simple warm up stretch exercises that she could do before starting gardening to mobilise the muscles and help prevent injury.

The more I can introduce exercises into everyday activity the more motivated I am feeling. Happy flexing💃

[Nilsam in reply to dieOR5k]

Thank you so much, dieOR5k. 💃👀🙋🏻‍♀️🌈

Oh thanks for this post Nilsam! Will make sure I do them before working on my allotment! Happy gardening!

[Nilsam in reply to Roxdog]

Oh I am so pleased. Happy gardening, Roxdog. 🌱🌻⚘

That’s a fab little painting, loving the flowers surrounding Enid. Thanks for the link, another one to check out 👍😁

[Nilsam in reply to Wenderwoo]

Thank you for your support, Wenderwoo. It's only a very gentle stretch but about my level to start with this week...after my 3 weeks of not a lot. Happy stretching...take care. 🙋🏻‍♀️

I probably should have done these before spending 2 days on and off trying to report a huge shrub !

[Nilsam in reply to dijep]

Ha ha, 🌱 They fight back, don't they? But we are lucky to be able to access our gardens, aren't we? Take care. 🌼🙋🏻‍♀️

Good advice Nilsam, there have been a few people on HU who have injured themselves in the garden, rather than running. Yet another beautiful picture!

[Nilsam in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy5. I quite like to see these age appropriate exercise videos promoted too. We may not all be in our dotage but I would like to see a few older role models promoting fitness. (60 + 🤔🙊👀)

Lovely! Hope you are recovering well?

[Nilsam in reply to Fionamags]

Hi Fionamags, thank you. I am getting there...and in the scheme of things it is just a blip. Hope you are well too. Take care and happy stretching. 👣🙋🏻‍♀️🌼

Brilliant!👏 i used to do my aerobic workout in the garden after my runs. I stopped when I started using a step, maybe I should move it back outdoors. I do miss the fresh air/ garden.

[Nilsam in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Ooh I like the idea of using a step in the garden for leg stretches. 👣🌼Take care GoGo_JoJo.

[Pigivi]

Love the drawing! Thank for the good advice... I may even do this every morning on waking up!

[Nilsam in reply to Pigivi]

Ah thank you, Pigivi. That is kind. I like the gentle stretches. (The pics are just my doodles...keeps the brain amused.) 🙋🏻‍♀️⚘

[apatsyf]

Oooh, Nilsam, thank you for those. Love them - just what my creaky bones need! I am sure it is all my gardening, not the running, that is causing my aches and pains - with gardening it is hard to stop I time!! 🤣🙄. Glad you are recovering and continuing to inspire us. 🤗🏃‍♀️😎

[Nilsam in reply to apatsyf]

Thank you so much, Apatsyf. I don't feel much of an inspiration. Currently reading this whist doing slow exercise bike. 🤣 Looking forward to getting out there...loosening up very creaking limbs. Take care. 🙋🏻‍♀️😎
