| Trim your hedges
What it works Your chest, arms, front of the shoulders and upper back How to do it Stand close to the hedge, legs shoulder-width apart, when you trim: it's easier on your back. Bend your knees, not your back, when you crouch down to get at the bottom of the hedge. Keep your stomach muscles tight to strengthen your core. TIP Focus on good posture with your back straight, eyes forward and stomach tight. Keep your motions smooth and controlled. |
