Yes we have more snow!!! Just a reminder to all of you! Snow is here, which means you have to shovel, shovel, and then shovel again....
Shoveling puts a strain on your back, and puts you at risk for injury.
Here are a few tips to protect your back:
1) Warm up your muscles before shoveling, by walking for a few minutes or marching in place.
2) Stretch the muscles in your arms and legs, because warm muscles will work more efficiently and be less likely to be injured.
3) Stand with your feet about hip width for balance and keep the shovel close to your body.
4) Bend from the knees (not the back) and tighten your stomach muscles as you lift the snow.
5) Avoid twisting movements.
Most importantly... Stop if you feel pain or unusually winded or fatigued.
When in doubt…let it melt!
(Or rely on a neighborhood kid or a service to shovel for you.)
