Get Dirty! Get FIT!

I was elated to be reminded that all this hard work at the garden is not only good for the community, but good for my waist line. A recent article in SHAPE magazine stated "getting down to earth burns 162 calories per half hour, boosts bone density and may even make you smarter (a bacteria in soil simulates the release of a neurotransmitter involved in learning)" It has also been noted that those who spend time gardening are more energetic and optimistic than those who don't. So go ahead get dirty and get fit!
