To help keep your spine straight, line up your ears, shoulders, and hips.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Or place one foot slightly in front of the other.
Keep your knees relaxed and stomach muscles slightly flattened.
Let your arms hang naturally down the sides of the body.
Bend at your hips and knees.
Don’t bend at your waist or round your back.
Rest your weight on your arms if possible.
When standing for a long time, shift your weight from your toes to your heels, or one foot to the other.
When reaching for objects over your head, use a stepladder. When you can’t, be sure to tighten your stomach muscles to keep your back from arching.
