That pain is like a warning signal. Lots of people experience it but "keep going" anyway... And eventually bad stuff happens. I know because I've been there. I don't do the typical "gym routines" anymore - Everything I do is focused on bodyweight training - and I add some other things to that. Pay attention to your body - start adjusting how you train so you can keep it all going for the long haul. Joey Hi Tucker – thanks for the question – It’s a GOOD one…

I am 6'7" and am in somewhat good shape. I use free weights and run when I work out. After using free weights, I get some pain in my mid to lower back. I believe it is mostly related to exercises when I am lifting weights over my head. This pain does not immobilize me in any way, but does cause discomfort for hours afterward. I admit when I push that last rep or two, my technique is not quite as good, arching my back to get that last rep. Should I be concerned by this? Would using a chair instead of standing when working out help? I saw you gave pretty good advice to others, so thought I would throw that out there. Article is great, and plan on taking your advice. Thank you! Hi,

I am learning so much through this website and the book, "The 7-Day Back Pain Cure." I am a very active senior citizen who walks and lifts weights (2,3, and 5 pounds, depending on the exercise). I want to learn to do more stretching for flexibility as I know it is very important. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis about three years ago and take all the natural supplements, but no bisphosphenates (sp). I broke two vertebrae in my back and my hip about three years ago, but everything has healed beautifully according to my only MRI. I do have back pain, mostly if I wear too tight clothing around the waist, become too fatigued, or in the evening after a long day of work. It is mostly centered around the mid-back. It can be very aggravating. I have tried many things, but nothing has worked so far. I am sending for Heal N Soothe tomorrow and hope it helps. I also intend to look into muscle inbalances. I also need to lose about fifteen pounds + and carry most of my weight in my abdomen which I think is seriously aggravating my problem. Sorry, I guess this was not the place to write all of this. I just feel some hope after not feeling any regarding this problem for a long time. Thanks for being there and offering help to others who suffer with the same problem. Back pain can take so much joy out of life so I am looking forward to finding ways to heal my back. I knew there was a way and now I think I've found it. Hi,
