We talked about the importance of progress on here yesterday, and hope you are on a path of sustainable health and fitness improvements. In fact, this is the mission of this blog.
I’m not sure always who is reading this of course in terms of individual requirements, but i know a recurring subject on here is back pain and by bringing it up a lot, i know i will be talking to people who have experienced it at some time in their lives, often with very painful memories! In fact, around 87% of you will experience this unpleasant fact of everyday life.
Its not hard to see why either! Most jobs these days involve sitting down for hours on end, doing very little physically. Even construction these days is done a lot by machines, and there are move JCB drivers on sites these days than ever before. It’s very hard these days to name five physical jobs off the top off your head, when perhaps 50 years ago, most jobs involved burning calories and actually moving around!
Back pain can be a huge source of pain in people’s lives, and its very sad to see most of the population will go through it largely through inactivity and weight gain, and a weak core which is the central point to all of this.
A lot of you will hhave gone to see the doctor about it, and the great news is that these days they will usually recommend you become more active, try eating a bit less to lose some weight, and in general lead a healthier lifestyle.
Guess what they recommend for most ailments these days? The very same thing!!!
So leading a good lifestyle will help your health no end in all sorts of ways, and doctors now are preaching the message much harder, instead of dishing out endless pain killers!
More on back pain tomorrow!
