Always hated the idea of stretching before yard work, tried 5 minutes of it and it actually helped my back
For years I would just jump out of my truck and start hauling bags of mulch and carrying rocks without even warming up. Last Tuesday I woke up with a tight lower back and figured I'd give those simple floor stretches a shot before my morning job over in Springfield. Nothing fancy, just some gentle knee hugs and a seated figure four stretch on the grass. I did it for maybe 5 minutes tops, no sweat or anything. By the end of the day my back felt way less sore than usual after loading 60 bags of soil. I always thought stretching was for gym rats and yoga people but it honestly made a difference doing it right before physical work. Has anyone else found a quick stretch routine that stopped their back from aching on job days?
