i feel confident anyone could geta strong back if they decided that they were going to do it. they would need to flip a switch in their brain that said, i am going to get a strong back.
and they must.
think about the spine. a snakey bone , flexy, with lots of nerves that can get pinched, discs that have to keep their distance from one another, charged with holding upand moving our body from place to place. without a decent muscular base, why would we expect to feel anything but pain and discomfort? why would we expect those bones to not crunch together and irritate nerves?
there is no choice in life for most of us but to develop and strengthen the back. or to just submit to misery.[/quote]
Exercise is good, but overdoing it can be every bit as bad for your body as not exercising. I’ve known many, many people (including myself) who’ve sustained injuries during exercise/sports that will negatively affect them for the rest of our lives.
Still, I think your story is compelling and inspirational. What did you look like before you started your exercise kick a few years back?
