A few weeks ago, I was lying in bed. Literally all I was doing was moving to turn and I pulled a muscle in my leg. Getting old fucking sucks.

My last major back injury was from hanging washing on a clothes horse.

Just picturing someone clothespining their laundry to a horse's mane. Don't correct me please :)

Exercise everyday, then you at least know you are the cause of your pains.

Light weightlifting and stretching really helped me my back pain.

Do it correctly and consistently. I only go like 2 or 3 times a week. It also helps me sleep better.

Yep I'm on a fairly serious routine but not overboard, basically got it down to about 45min sessions 3/4 times a week (every other day kind of), and I feel better than in my 20s!

"Only" 2 or 3 times a week is 2 or 3 times more than most people. Don't do yourself an injustice, you're doing great - carry on.

Thank you. I truly appreciate your words.

It's more than that. You need a chance for your body to recoup. People exercising hard more than 3 times in six days are doing themselves damage

No joke, not only are kids bones more "rubbery" and difficult to break, if they do manage to break it they're gonna be in a cast for like a couple weeks and that's it.

If an adult breaks something that's gonna be like 3 MONTHS of cast time (minimum) AND most likely some form of stupid physical therapy :/
