* You should stretch for 5-10 minutes before going outside or a short walk can stimulate circulation and help to warm up muscles as well. Cold muscles are easier to injure because they do not contract and relax readily.

* Avoid bending and twisting simultaneously. This creates leverage on your low back and can easily result in straining muscles and spraining the ligaments.

* Use a “scissors stance”. Place your right foot forward and left foot back for a few minutes and then reverse. Also switch the rake from side to side, which helps prevent overusing just one side of your body.

* Alternate your raking from front to back as well as side to side (like sweeping a br0om). This will vary the muscles you use, helping to prevent overuse and fatigue.

* Rake your leaves onto a large blanket or a tarp and then drag these rather than carry your leaves. Bend at your knees and not at your waist and make piles manageable.
