And I seem to be getting it from the pool !!! Perhaps that disqualifies me from replying??

Expert 655 Denver | Subject: RE: back is sore No like I said any advice is appreciated, thanks for the imput, I am seeing my massage therapist tomorrow to get it worked out, so I hope between the two of us we can figure it out. Probably has to do with tight hamstrings though. Cheers, |

Veteran 264 Halifax | Subject: RE: back is sore I have been doing this core workout for some time and haven’t had a sore back in… Ok I’m not going to say it because it will happen tomorrow if I do.. http://magthree.com/Thoughts/Core_Work.html The core workout and also I find walking a great form of exercise for the lower back. My family has a long history of bad backs so I try and stay on top of it. Cheers, and good luck. Rice. |

| New user 3 | Subject: RE: back is sore Not sure of the type of back pain you are having, but have you been keeping yourself hydrated? I heard a fact that 75% of back pain is due to being dehydrated. Drink a lot of water and see if that helps any. |

Veteran 264 Halifax | Subject: RE: back is sore On that note as well watch how fast you start working out after you get out of bed. When you’re lying down your discs swell a little from not having the vertebrae weighting on them. So if you try and workout without giving them some time to adjust you may be more prone to causing problems. Cheers. Rice. |
