Movement matters: Bending

Up seems pretty obvious when you are standing at your full height, but up is also right in front of you when you bend down. In order to feel lighter when you bend, think that you are going up even when you are bending down. In fact, unless you are falling, you are holding yourself up even when you bend down.
