Gardening is more than a weekend hobby. It involves squatting, lifting, and stretching, all of which are great for your body. Plus, growing your own greens feels rewarding.

Desk jobs can be draining. Combat stiffness with quick shoulder rolls, neck stretches, or a few seated yoga poses. It’s a five-minute recharge your body will thank you for.
