And just like any workout, engaging in a short warmup session will help protect your muscles, joints, and ligaments from potential injury. To that end, stretching and engaging in some light cardio (like a 15-20 minute jog) will help prepare your body for the task of lifting heavy boxes, containers, and pieces of furniture. Additionally, you should engage in proper lifting techniques. Always lift heavy objects with your legs and <\/span><b><i>NOT WITH YOUR BACK!<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Also, avoid twisting motions to prevent serious or chronic injury to your back, neck, hips, ankles, and other joints.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bfb2d2e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bfb2d2e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Moving Day Safety Tips #2 - Proper Attire\n<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d8ac3cf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d8ac3cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wearing the proper attire when moving is essential for personal safety. Avoid wearing excessively baggy shirts and pants, so that you do not snag them on doorknobs, furniture corners, or loose nails and screws. Try to wear shorts or pants with multiple pockets, for tools, keys, and other moving essentials. When it comes to footwear, try to wear construction or steel-toed shoes, to protect your feet from falling furniture or unseen sharp objects protruding from the floor. To protect you from the sun, caps and sunglasses are advisable and can be removed at inopportune times.\u00a0 You should also invest in thick construction gloves, back braces, and moving straps to protect your hands and back.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2489603 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2489603\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Moving Day Safety Tips #3 - Stay Hydrated and Rested\n<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51dd570 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"51dd570\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since a majority of moves happen in the summer, it&#8217;s extremely important to stay hydrated while you are exerting yourself physically under the blistering sun. Invest in a pack of 12 or 24 water bottles and keep them in your car or moving truck, or make sure you have easy access to a continuous water supply. Failure to do so could result in dehydration and over-exhaustion (i.e. dizziness, headache, vomiting, etc.), and in the worst-case scenario, heat stroke, which will require a hospital stay.
