Be very careful about the form you are using to shovel. Make sure knees are bent slightly and the upper part of your legs and body are doing the work; not your back! This is a very important step because shoveling is well-known for being conducive to back injury. Keep your hands farther apart, rather than close together on the shovel handle, legs apart and feet firmly planted on the ground. Be sure to squat rather than to bend, when lifting up the snow.
