Tips For Shoveling Snow
- posted: Aug. 13, 2018
Sooner or later, snow will fall in Wisconsin.
Nobody likes shoveling snow; however, these tips can help you avoid injuries:
-
Listen to weather forecasts so you can rise early and have time to shovel before work
-
Layer clothing to keep your muscles warm and flexible
-
Shoveling can strain “de-conditioned” muscles between your shoulders, in your upper back, lower back, buttocks and legs. So, do some warm-up stretching before you grab that shovel.
-
When you do shovel, push the snow straight ahead. Don’t try to throw it. Walk it to the snow bank. Avoid sudden twisting and turning motions.
-
Bend your knees to lift when shoveling. Let the muscles of your legs and arms do the work, not your back.
-
Take frequent rest breaks to take the strain off your muscles. A fatigued body asks for injury.
Stop if you feel chest pain, or get really tired or have shortness of breath. You may need immediate professional help.
