      Light weightlifting and stretching really helped me my back pain.

      Do it correctly and consistently. I only go like 2 or 3 times a week. It also helps me sleep better.

        Yep I’m on a fairly serious routine but not overboard, basically got it down to about 45min sessions 3/4 times a week (every other day kind of), and I feel better than in my 20s!

        “Only” 2 or 3 times a week is 2 or 3 times more than most people. Don’t do yourself an injustice, you’re doing great - carry on.

            It’s more than that. You need a chance for your body to recoup. People exercising hard more than 3 times in six days are doing themselves damage
