Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bending at the hips and knees allows you to engage the powerful muscles in your legs to lift the object, while keeping your back straight and safe. Bending from the waist puts unnecessary strain on your lower back, which can lead to injury. Holding the item away from you or lifting it above your chest can also increase the risk of injury, as it puts more strain on your arms and shoulders.
