Video Transcript
For lower loads, drop to one knee and lift the load to balance on your other knee, pause adjust your grip and lift to standing holding the load as close as to your body as possible. If you have to turn aim one foot toward your destination and use your feet not your waist to pivot or walk out to turn. Set the load down in one slow movement, jerking movements can pull muscles in your lower back. Think of yourself as an industrial gymnast, plan and balance every move.
