What's up guys? This is Shane Starr with Expert Village. Today I'm going to teach you how to make a snowman. Okay guys I'm building a snowman here. The key parts you have to think about it is safety. It is a fun thing to do but you don't want to injure yourself while you are doing it. One of the most dangerous things while building the snowman is this second ball when you have to lift it on top. We have made a pretty good size ball here but the key of lifting is you want to use your legs. Not your back. You are going to grab it with your arm, bend your knees, bend your knees. Instead of going down and trying to grab with your back, you would only injure your back in the future time. You might be able to do it a couple of times but you would injure yourself trying to do that. So remember just always use your legs while you are lifting something heavy. One of the keys when you are building this second ball is you have to know your own strength you don't want to make that too big where you are not going to be able to lift it up there. Otherwise you are not going to have a very good snowman. So make sure your base is too big and your second ball is not too big for you to lift up yourself cause you have to put it on there.
