Here are some tips for safe raking:
  • Warm up with light activity for 5-10 minutes.
  •  Use a rake that’s the right size.
  • Wear gloves to protect your hands and wear shoes with good traction.
  • Use good body mechanics: Engage your abdominals, bend from your knees and not from your waist, don’t twist, and keep the rake close to your body.
  •  Pace yourself; don’t try to do it all in one day.
  •  Keep yourself hydrated, and stretch afterwards.
 
If you don’t feel physically up to the task, hire a trainer to help you get in shape. After all, you don’t want to injure yourself raking so that you can’t shovel snow in a few months.
