Share the Work
Oftentimes, difficult work tasks require awkward postures, heavy lifting, or other significant physical demands. When these situations cannot be avoided, working as a team is essential. When possible, use a team lift to reduce the load on a single employee. When performing a task that requires an awkward posture or when working in a tight space, consider switching off after prolonged periods of work to reduce the risk of injury.
Plant Powered Protein
Whether you’re trying to vary your diet, eat less meat, or watch your grocery budget, plant-based proteins can be an easy-to-prepare and delicious option. Legumes are a common plant-based protein source with a comprehensive nutrient profile. Soybeans are one of the most prevalent plant-based options, and can be found as tofu, tempeh, and more processed meat substitutes. For those looking to avoid soy, consider adding beans, lentils, and peas to meals for an easy and satisfying protein and fiber boost.
Hip Boxes
Lie on your side with your hips square and legs parallel to the floor. Place one arm on the ground, with the hand supporting your head and neck, and the other in front of you for stability. Lift your top leg up, then slowly move it forward, up, back, and down, drawing a square with your foot. Keep your core stable to avoid tipping forward or back. Repeat 10 times and change sides.
