Is this your life lately, raking leaves, scooping, tossing, lifting, kneeling and bending over?
Avoid soreness and injury.
With an industrial size leaf blower, blow all the leaves into your neighbor's yard with a loud wicked laugh. Problem solved right? ๐คฃ
Okay, don't do that.
Be sure to use good body mechanics. Don't always toss to one side, take turns with the left and right.
Tossing the leaves using one side of your body, like your right, can have a chain reaction of stiffness, pulling, and tension in the hips, lower back, shoulder, abdomen, neck and arm.
Stay hydrated:
Water hydration keeps your joints lubricated and helps with circulation.
Try stretching: Before and after raking.
This allows for better flexibility and range of motion by lengthening the muscles. This helps avoid injuries and it just feels amazing.
