Aching.

I seem to be aching all over - been doing a lot of heavy outside work.
I do take fish oil & Gluscosamine, but don't notice any easing of the stiffness.
Any one got any tips? Would be grateful as I feel ancient rather than being in my late forties.:eek:

I do yoga stretches to keep myself supple both before and after I garden and I have found it really beneficial.Taking responsibility one penny at a time!0

Do some stretches as Rummer says and cut down the length of time you are out there working.
That's why B&Q make those white plastic chairs, short burst work, then sit.0 -
Do the stretching definitely and take it easy, none of us are as young as we were. Take breaks and do lighter work in between stints of heavier stuff.
That's the tip, don't get in that state to start with. You only get one back etc.Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0 -

I use a DVD by Barbara Currie, the 7 secrets of yoga one as it has a whole load of different sections broken into ten min blocks so you can do as much or as little as you like.Taking responsibility one penny at a time!0

Thanks for that.0

Nothing wrong with taking some Ibuprofen either - (though I do realise that it's not suitable for everyone). That and a hot bath is my usual cure after overdoing the gardening.0

A steaming hot bubbly bath is always nice after you've been grafting.
Alternatively, garden the lazy/efficient way and cut out all the really hard graft. No dig beds, composting in situ, square foot gardening, growing perennials instead of annuals etc.0 -
I have to say I am a huge fan of a hot bath at the end of a hard day in the garden as it means I am not as stiff in the morning.Taking responsibility one penny at a time!0
