3 stretches when my lower back hurts
I hurt my lower back as a sophomore in high school.
Happened playing football. I did 4 months of physical therapy.
When it flares up, here are 3 stretches I like to do.
Tight hamstrings = lower back pain.
Walking like an elephant helps every time.
Piri-what?
It’s a muscle on the backside of your hip.
When it’s tight, you feel it in your lower back.
Tight hips/glutes = lower back pain.
This one (the first stretch in this vid) is the magic ingredient in my WD-40.
Enjoy!

Pretty sure I shared Olipop a few weeks ago.
I’m sharing it again.
It’s that good.
I probably had 4 root beers last week.
~80 calories a pop.
(no pun intended)
This article summarizes my evaluation of creatine.
There are solid performance benefits.
But my advice?
Spend 2-3 months getting exercise as a habit first.
Then add creatine.
And only if you want to.
It’s an optimizer. Not a solution.
I don’t use Instagram anymore. Or X. Or Facebook.
The only social media I’m active on is LinkedIn.
My professional network was already on there.
I have more control over my feed.
It’s more business friendly.
And I’ve learned tons.
