Title: Re: stretching

Your more than welcome P-boy.

I know what it feels like to be hurt.
When I worked in commercial construction and before I became a exercise person, I hurt my back from trying to lift something I had no business even attempting.

I have two disks in my lower back that are questionable.
I didn't need surgery, I found a good Chiropractor that helped me rehab.

About that time I got into exercising and found that strengthening my core and warming up before/ cooling down/stretching afterward would keep me relatively injury free.
The times I've hurt myself was because I ignored my own advice and found out that the price you pay for not taking the time to do the right thing is far greater than the time you think your saving by not getting your body ready for whatever stress your planning on putting it thru.

Having a chronic injury or surgery isn't my idea of fun. The old adage about an ounce of prevention being worth more than a pound of cure is a truth that's better learned from others mis-fortunes than personal experience ;)
