PROPER SHOVELING TECHNIQUES…
Bon Vivant Style
Start low and kind.
Bend your knees, not your spirit. Let your body move the way it was designed to… grounded, steady, intentional.
Lift with your legs, not your back.
Your back is a masterpiece, not a forklift. Keep it safe. Let your legs do the heavy work… they love showing off anyway.
Turn with your whole body.
No twisting yourself into a winter pretzel. Point your toes where the snow is going and let the movement be smooth, easy, almost graceful… like a snowy tai chi.
If the snow is deep, break it down first.
Big drifts are just small drifts wearing fancy coats. Chop the height before you lift, and save your joints from unnecessary drama.
❄️ Winter sneaks up like a prankster… and suddenly half the city is out there shoveling like it’s an Olympic event. Before you grab that shovel tomorrow, warm up your muscles. A few shoulder rolls… a gentle twist… a deep breath… your body deserves that kindness.
And if Monday’s snow decides to be dramatic, remember: repetitive-use strains are real. Your back doesn’t have to be the hero this year.
Warm hands, warm table, warm room… I’ve got you.
