A recent study at Kansas State University found that gardening is on par with walking at a moderate pace on a treadmill in terms of heart rate elevation. Enjoying the outdoors and nature is also a proven stress reliever, giving you a double dose of heart healthy activity. Gardening includes mowing the lawn, digging holes, and pulling weeds. So do it for your heart - and your curb appeal.
