getting old sucks. What's 40 like?
Not going to lie, I use the amount of time I travel to lazily explain away my lack of exercise, if i'm going to keep this up, I need to work on that. Not fat by any measurement, but that doesn't mean I am in shape.You're just a pup. (BTW, my oldest daughter is 32). You're as old as you want to be.Here's an example. I'm 54, 5'8", 162 lb and put on my full set of gear yesterday, including my airpack, along with all my tools & crawled through an entire maze in the dark in a Firefighter Survival box.Took me 14+ minutes. It totally sucked, shoulders getting pinned, holes in the floor, wires in my way, crawling through a studded wall(yes 16" on center). Did I feel all my age? Oh hell yes but I finished it. My point, do some exercises, strengthen the abs to support the lower back amongst other things.It doesn't take that long. You don't have to exercise hours on end. Not saying that will help, as some people have chronic back problems, but a lot of ailments can be alleviated. Talk to your Dr, then see a trainer at a fitness center if you're really serious about trying to make this better. 32 is way too young to feel old. JMO
Yeah I don't think people need to spend thousands on the latest high-tech mattress, but sleeping on an old, worn one can be a killer. And the time to address it is before you develop serious back problems. Could be a good investment for you.
Aw Sarky you are still a pup.CoolYou're just a pup. (BTW, my oldest daughter is 32). You're as old as you want to be.Here's an example.

I'm 44 and my lower back hurts more than at 32. As long as my lower front doesn't hurt, I am happy.getting old sucks. What's 40 like?

I hate to even comment on this because I am so tired of preaching. I am 65 have no pain take no prescriptions can still go out and run a couple miles. Walk when I golf. I started the journey to a healthy lifestyle in 1980. I use a holistic approach that includes exercise, supplementation, hydration, sleep, diet to name a few. Most people take better care of their cars then they do their own bodies. One of my favorite sayings is If God made it eat it if man made it avoid it or use moderation. Staying healthy isn't about living forever but being able to enjoy a good quality of life as you age. The young think they will live forever and the old wonder what happened.I'm 43 and it sucks. Back surgery in my 30's, sholder surgery at 42, no energy, memory stinks. I'm just praying the good Lord let's me reach 70 but also don't want to live long enough to where I can't take care of myself.
Everybody is different but for me age has little effect on my back... The flatter my stomach and the lower my weight the better I feel... and the less of any pain I suffer... Oh and watch our for high impact sports... gave up water skiing and snow skiing. I am 68 and I have less back problems now than when I was in my 40's.getting old sucks. What's 40 like?
For those who mention stretching exercises, any suggestions?
All of you are a bunch of wussy crybabies. I'm 69 and walk 2 miles on rough uneven terrain. Both knees inside are bone on bone and outside only 90% gone. Seven crushed vertibraes(sp) in lower back. People ask how do you do it? I say "no choice". I'm tough.You're just a pup. (BTW, my oldest daughter is 32). You're as old as you want to be.Here's an example.

Yikes. Can't even get there. Feels like the muscles in the back of my legs are about to snap.For the lower back, laying on the floor with your butt against the wall and your legs straight up the wall provides a very good stretch.
