But shoveling doesn&rsquo;t need to equate to low back pain. With proper technique and precautions, you can keep your back healthy so that you can enjoy the nice weather. So here are a few quick tips to save your back:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Get out there and start shoveling when the snow is actually lighter which is to say BEFORE the snow piles up and (more importantly) FREEZES up. &nbsp;Also take small shovelfuls. No sense overworking yourself.<\/li>\n<li>Warm up before you head out. Shoveling IS a workout after all!<\/li>\n<li>Engage the core BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER each shovel of snow. The core should always be turned on to protect that back!<\/li>\n<li>Use your legs and PUSH the snow if you can! If you can&rsquo;t push the snow away, then make sure you shovel in BOTH directions!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hope this helps! Happy Shoveling!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past December, we had a pretty heavy snowfall.&nbsp; While some of it melted, we can be sure that more of the white stuff is on the way and with the snowfall comes shoveling and MORE shoveling.
