43 years old and the back has troubles? Sounds reasonable.

The first time I threw out my back hard was at age 38, from years of lifting heavy things improperly at work. Nature of the job, unfortunately.

Now I'm 54, so 16 years of back and leg stretches daily. Plus, about 4 or 5 years ago I got a Teeter inverter, which I hang on upside down by the ankles when needed. It helps greatly with lower back pain and sciatica pain. I used it last night due to severe sciatica pain that wouldn't let me sleep. Worked like a charm and finally slept like a baby.

I have to admit, I've never tried the plank. Worth a try tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for bringing it up, @bradyweb.
