Old age is catching up

Yes she is.

 

Im gonna suggest looking at your boots for back problems. I used to run heavy wrecker on the big road and boots never lasted 6 months. Worked hard and ate anything I wanted. Fast forward to having my own ride and started putting on weight. Started to have back and knee pain. I chaulked it up to age, and lots of sports at a young age. The MRS. is the one that seen me in pain and asked when was the last time I bought new work boots. This was the first time in my life I couldnt remember how old they were. New boots and back and knee pain went away. Plus gel inserts help. But I second exercise too. The first month or two sucks. Once past that you start to feel great. I actuall feel bad if i miss a workout now. But please spend time streching.

 

I'm still sticking with going towards tanking. Hoses are the heaviest things you'll have to lift; no pitching or chaining or bungees, either. You'll probably have to change the attire, however...slacks and steel toes; often a Zuit Suit if you haul hazmat ( I don't...usually. )

I did wrecker when I was younger and yep, that sure was a workout~!

Best to you, either way! Be safe, feel better.

 

Yep old age something we all eventually will have to deal with but yeah try a trucking job that demands less strain on your body.

 

Did the wrecker/rollback thing since 1983. Don't know anything else. Got rust in my blood, I guess.
Didn't say enough about the inversion table. It helps me immensely. Just did 2 minutes on it before
I picked up the laptop. Your 5th lumbar will thank you. Stretching out your back like that upside down
can suck the disc back into place if it is bulging. I do it in between exercises, running, and stretching.
Or as soon as I feel my back out, I get on it and hang, relax, and twist around, to make it pop back in.
Many times I avoid going to Chiropractor, cause I fix it myself that way. Not every time, but most.

 

I use my Teeter upside down thingy almost daily, as well. LOVE it. Great point I didn't think to mention, either.
Chiropractor, maybe once a month, just for the added effects. (And they take my insurance!)
