Sore Back





The Leg Press at the gym seemed to be hurting my back, so I tended to avoid it. I avoided it for some time. I did other exercises.

But recently I said to myself, oh, don't be a pussy, just do it. So I did. I started doing it again. 

So, that was a few weeks ago, and then I hurt my back. I don't generally suffer from a hurt back.

It got noticeably worse over the weekend. So, I made an appointment with my Osteopath. I have a great Osteopath.

I went to see him at lunch time. I rode my bike in between the rain today. It rained all day.

"What are you here for today."

"Lower back. I have a sore lower back."

"Okay," he said.

"I reckon it is the leg press at the gym."

"The inclined leg press?"

"It is the worst exercise for you back."

"You know I knew and I avoided it, but I went back to doing it just lately."

"Well, I don't have to guess what is wrong with your back," he said. "I'd say it is definitely the leg press."

What kind of dope am I.

I hadn't been to the osteopath for 5 years, as it turned out

Anyway, now my back feels great.

And, it's been a long time since a man has said, take your clothes off and get on the bed. Haha, not that I took my pants off.
