General heavy lifting tips
- Knowing your limits. Don’t push it!
- Squatting, not bending. When you reach down to lift something like the end of your couch, be sure to squat at your knees instead of bending over at your waist.
- Lift with your legs and abs. Your back shouldn’t be taking on any of the brunt of heavy lifting.
