17. Goodbye calories

Gardening can be hard work. You will dig, squat, lift, scratch, and pull for an hour or more at a time. Your body will sweat in the hot sun, and you will likely need a shower right after bathing. It is to get a great workout without having to pay for a gym membership. If you incorporate gardening into your life a few hours a week, you will likely lose weight.
