Warm-Up: Before you start shoveling, warm up your muscles with light exercises to reduce the risk of injury.
Dress in Layers: Wear warm, layered clothing to stay protected from the cold. Make sure to cover your head, hands, and feet.
Use the Right Shovel: Choose a shovel with a comfortable handle length and an ergonomic design. A lightweight, plastic blade may also be easier on your back.
Lift with Your Legs: Bend at the knees, not at the waist, when lifting snow. Use your leg muscles to lift, and avoid excessive twisting of your back.
Pace Yourself: Take breaks regularly to prevent overexertion. Listen to your body, and don’t push yourself too hard.
Push, Don’t Lift: Whenever possible, push the snow rather than lifting the snow.
