<human>:  What is the best way to lift an object without strain?
<bot>: The best way to lift an object without strain is to avoid twisting or jerking movements, bend your knees and hips, keep the object close to your body, and use your leg muscles to help lift the object. Make sure to keep your head up and back straight, while engaging your abdominal muscles to protect your spine. Additionally, be sure to ask for help from another person if the object feels too heavy.
