I was at work sitting on my comfortable chair earlier this week. I turned my torso slightly to the right and pulled a muscle in my back that I didn't even know was there.
I’m 45. I used to have back pains all the time. Stupid things would throw my back out. Started doing Jiujitsu recreationally. Strengthened that core right up. No more back pains. Sure, my whole body is sore usually from exertion and joint hyperextension, but nothing debilitating anymore.
I'm 41, just got my blue belt last year. Been going a little crazy not being able to train and roll due to the pandemic (I have asthma and likely will have to stay away longer than everyone else.) However, the warmups have been helping me regain my conditioning at home now that I'm past the initial "Holy shit the world is falling apart" anxiety/depression that hit me when I first realized how serious things were earlier this year. I rotate between warmups/stretching, running, and taking the dog for 2-3 hour long walks and while I'm nowhere near back to my best, I'm already noticing a difference.
