Posture & Pulling a Suitcase

/

Hi there. This is Part II of my series on travel. Last week, I talked about lifting luggage and this week’s theme is pulling luggage, namely a suitcase on wheels.

What’s the biggest pitfalls of pulling a suitcase?

Pulling your shoulder with the suitcase. There are two ways in which people tend to do this, which I demonstrate in this week’s Power Pause video:

  • Pulling the shoulder up or forward and leaning forward.

  • Letting the suitcase drag the arm back, pulling the shoulder with it.

I’ll show you how to keep your arm stable and use your back instead of your shoulder to do most of the work. Watch the video above to see how and try it out!
