Touching your toes is overrated anyway.

If there is a pun in there then I'm too slow to catch it however it most certainly is the right time of year for those (me) who suffer the long term consequences of a back injury (not the initial one that I referred to before), this cold damp weather plays havoc with my lower back although pulling a tree out of the garden last month didn't help much either - I can go a few days and think its all sorted and then just have to step down a step a little too hard and it sets off spasms again - can't wait for some warm weather.
So yes, look after your back and especially look after your intervertebral fibrocartilage, to squish one even if it "heals" is to have a weak spot for the rest of your life.

You weren't wrong with that prediction. Knees have held up fine but I have an awful ache on my right femur, about three inches below the hip joint that has eased quite a bit throughout the day. I'll have another go tomorrow morning and see what I end up with then

Not read the whole thread, but I fully recommend the 5-2 diet, my dad's lost just over 4 stone in a year with regular swimming in there too.
Also anyone with back pain/tightness look up 'limber 11' on youtube, as chances are you have tight hips/legs contributing a lot more than you'd think, the video explains it all a lot better.

also not read the whole thread, the paleo diet is good & herbal life is great but youve got to exercise on them. but you will turn fat into muscle. google them? paleo is back to caveman days.
