50 and older, I’m sorry, but in my personal experience, your advice has been a little out of date.

    Get in the habit of wearing a backbrace. When you move something heavy, when you work in the yard, whenever you need to bend or twist a lot. Backbrace.

      Save your back. Don’t bend over to pick stuff up off the floor unless there are at least 2-3 things down there to get.

      Good boots, gloves, kneelers etc. Good quality tools. Your tools (your body especially) are an investment. Buy quality. Buy to last. Take good care of them. Per the literals. I swear by Kobalt and Dewalt.
