33. Push It, Push It Good: The Body Mechanics You Didn’t Know You Needed

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 🤍).
