1. Be prepared - spray your shovel with Teflon so the snow won't stick to it.
2. Warm-up the muscles first - A few minutes of stretching and don't forget to breathe.
3. Layer your clothing - shed layers as you warm up.
4. Use the right shovel - tip of handle should be chest high. No need for special ergonomis shovels.
5. Drink LOTS of water - keeps the body hydrated.
6. Use proper posture - bend your kness and lift with your legs, not your back.
7. Take your time - working too hard or too fast can strain your muscles.
8. See your chiropractor - gentle spinal adjustments will help keep your back flexible and minimize the chance for injury.
