Making LIFE easier, strengthen EVERYDAY MUSCLES!

-

 


Carrying groceries or boxes typically involves several muscle groups in the upper body, including:


1. Forearm muscles: These muscles are responsible for gripping and holding onto the grocery bag or box.


2. Biceps and triceps: These muscles are responsible for bending and straightening the elbow joint, which is important for lifting and carrying the load.


3. Shoulder muscles: The deltoids, rotator cuff, and other muscles in the shoulder joint are responsible for stabilizing the load and allowing the arm to move in different directions.


4. Upper back muscles: The trapezius, rhomboids, and other muscles in the upper back help to stabilize the shoulder blades and maintain proper posture while carrying the load.


5. Abdominal muscles: The core muscles, including the rectus abdominis and obliques, help to stabilize the torso and transfer force from the lower body to the upper body during lifting and carrying.


It's important to use proper lifting and carrying techniques to avoid injury and strain on these muscles. This includes bending the knees, keeping the load close to the body, and avoiding twisting or jerking motions.

Keep your chin up, facing straight ahead, and your neck straight. While you inhale, bring your shoulders as high up toward your ears as you can. Do the movement slowly so that you feel the resistance of your muscles. Hold..Hold..Hold.. for 10 seconds. Lower your shoulders back down and breathe out before repeating the movement. Aim for 3 sets of 10 repetitions to start. ...
