Snow Shoveling

Hi Everyone!  As we anticipate another round of big snow, I wanted to pass on some tips.

1) When shoveling, make sure you are staying hydrated.  This is very important if you have a big job ahead of you.  People make the mistake of not drinking water because its cold outside.  But this can be very dangerous and you can still get dehydrated.  Make sure you have water available.

2) Pull your belly button in towards your spine when shoveling.  This will help work your core and help protect your lower back.  And try not to lift too much in one shot.

3) Take breaks.

4) Dress in layers and wear good gloves, as well as a hat.  Don't wear anything too bulky that can restrict your movement.

Hope you all stay warm and healthy.
