Ever have snow stick to your shovel? Make heaving the snow from your shovel a little easier by spraying Pam cooking spray on it. The snow won't stick anymore.

Snow was sticking to my snow shovel until I coated the blade with silicon. The silicon spray I used was for my knitting machine but I've seen cheaper silicon spray at the hardware store.
Instead of lifting snow, try to push it as much as possible. When you need to lift a shovel full of snow, be sure to bend your knees and keep your back straight.
