Stand and Weed the Garden

When you weed the garden from a standing position, your lower body needs to be stabilized in such a way that you can also shift your weight easily in every direction: forward, back, toward and away from each side, and diagonally. If you plant your feet, especially your heels, into the ground, you will establish the stability that can support movements of your trunk and arms. While weeding from a standing position, keep both your knees and your hips fluid and unlocked, so they go with the flow of your weed-seeking arms and hands.
