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 🤍).

Mentioned:

Episode 32 – Lift Like a Mom (M-O-M method: Move Close, Orient, Maintain Neutral Spine)

💬 If you’re loving the podcast, tap those stars and leave a review—it helps other moms find us and feel supported, too!

Hope this episode is enlightening and helps you find joy and reduce pain.

Until next time catch up with me in our free facebook community!
