Is your body ready for fall yardwork?
Prevent unnecessary pain by keeping your body at its BEST. A day outside prepping for winter doesn’t have to end with you on the couch recovering.
Before you reach for your rake this fall follow these easy tips……
- Drink extra water and extra high quality nutritious calories – to support energy and muscle recovery
- Wear gloves – improve grip and prevent poor form that could lead to wrist, elbow, shoulder & back pain
- Scissor stance – remember to reverse sides as you are raking to avoid low back strain
- Good posture – stand straight, shoulders back and recruit ALL muscles
- Proper form for bending – bend at the knees not the waist
- Get adjusted!
- Stretch – be sure to stretch both before and after your work
