This season, you may get the opportunity to spend time with your children and grandchildren. As we all know, when you lift babies and toddlers off of the floor, it can be quite heavy and can potentially throw you off balance. This video demonstrates how you can practice basic PWR! Up and hip hinge movements to lift your children or grandchildren up safely, without losing your balance
