Michelle Adams is quoted in a Today.com article

KN instructor Michelle Adams is quoted in a Today.com article about a new study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine that suggests that activities like gardening can have a major impact on health.

“The actual motions involved with digging and raking all involve a lot of coordinated upper and lower body movement that actually increases metabolic rate and can get your heart rate a little bit elevated,” Adams told TODAY Home. “Not at an intense level, but at a nice low to moderate intensity level.”
