Movement Tips + Body Mechanics Tips
- Materials stay close to the core to avoid feeling sore
- Move your feet! Stepping or pivoting ensures your nose and toes move in the same direction and prevents twisting.
- Use mechanical means when able
- Test the load and ask for help if the materials weigh more than 50 pounds.
- Have a plan and a clear path. If you’re working with a buddy, communication is key to avoid an injury.
