Today we’re building on last week’s “Lift Like a Mom” episode with another simple tip: push, don’t pull—whenever you can.
We’ll cover:
- Why pushing gives your body a mechanical advantage
- How pulling increases your risk for strain and injury
- A real-life example: stroller vs. wagon
- What to do when pulling is unavoidable—and how to do it safely
So the next time you’re moving something heavy, remember: Push it, push it good (with good form, of course 🤍).
Mentioned:
Episode 32 – Lift Like a Mom (M-O-M method: Move Close, Orient, Maintain Neutral Spine)
