Use Your Legs!

Following up the Walk This Way memo, the Shitshow has sent out yet another mind blowing memo on how to correctly push, pull and believe it or not on how to stand up. 

Here is the advice the Shitshow feels necessary to provide:

  1. When pushing or pulling be sure to stand correctly
  2. It is better to push than pull
  3. Keep your feet spread apart, with one foot in front of the other
  4. Let your legs do the work
  5. If your hands are full and you need to use your shoulder to push open a door, turn your shoulder to the door instead of walking straight into the door.
These principals can be used when pushing a lawn mower or when pulling your boat ashore.  Additionally when trying to stand up from a seated position:

  1. Place your feet correctly,  with your feet apart, one back and one forward
  2. Push off on the rear foot using the front foot to prevent you from falling forward
By keeping these tips in mind before pushing, pulling, or standing up can help keep your new year off to a healthy start.

Because the safety advice the Shitshow gives me is stuff my toddler figured out all on her own when learning to walk, I throw rocks.
