Gardening is a favorite activity of many active ageing adults. Benefits of gardening include:

Spending time in nature and outdoors
Physical and mental engagement
Healthy organic produce to eat
Cost-efficient food source

When in your garden and working at ground level, practice working in a squat. This can enhance hip and ankle mobility which can help reduce hip, low-back, and knee pain. The importance of keeping these joints mobile as we age can’t be overstated! It takes more commitment and focus to maintain your mobility as you age, but you’ll be glad you put in the work in the long run!
