Soon you will be heading outside to start tackling the snow if you haven’t already.
Most of us will feel the pain of shoveling the heavy white stuff, mainly because we don’t use the proper technique. (from thespinalcolumn.com)
Here is what you should know:
• Feet should be kept wide apart. Weight should be placed on the front foot close to the shovel. Use your leg to push the shovel straight ahead.
• Shift weight to your rear foot with a load of snow close to your body. Lift the load with the power of your legs and arms.
• Shift your body in the direction of the snow instead of twisting your waist.
