- Get on your hands and knees to maintain good posture for weeding, planting flowers, etc.
- For raking, follow the advice listed for sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming.
- Push objects rather than pulling them. Use a wheelbarrow instead of a wagon.
- Make sure you don’t lift more than 10 to 20 pounds if you have spinal osteoporosis.
- When pruning, use sturdy ladders to keep your work at eye level. Bend through your legs instead of rounding your back to prune low bushes.
