Experts advise starting with warm -ups: tilting, corps and exercises for warming up the muscles of the hands are suitable. This will help prevent injuries when working in an uncomfortable “garden of the gardener”.
It is important to observe the mode of work and rest – it is optimal to work for 45 minutes, then rest for 10 minutes, preferably lying down to relax the muscles of the back. When digging potatoes, it is better to sit on an inverted bucket or low stool, avoiding tilts on straight legs.
It is also recommended not to fill the buckets completely, and fill the bags only half and transport on cars. All movements should be smooth: they sat down – took – got up. This will help to avoid sharp jumps in blood pressure and load on the spine.
