As the weather cools and outdoor activities wind down, it’s easy to forget that your body still needs movement. Here are a few tips to stay injury-free this fall:
1️⃣ Warm up before yard work — try 10 arm circles and 10 leg swings per side.
2️⃣ Bend with your knees, not your back.
3️⃣ Take breaks every 20–30 minutes to stretch your back and shoulders.
Your body will thank you later!
