 Walk your talk Member 5, 25557 posts Administrator | I consider myself fairly fit (having just done the London marathon) however , for seemingly NO REASON I got a tweak in my lower back (right side) the type of injury that constantly hurts and goes into spasm numerous times a day if you make a wrong move. (could be bulge ? herniated disc ? facet joint ? muscular ?) so now i am doing rehab and I am slightly mad at myself. it seems i have neglected strength training so , what is the best training to keep the body in good shape ? I have decided to join a gym (grandad training) and continue to ride my unicycles | ||

Walk your talk Member 5, 25557 posts Administrator | it could be Piriformis syndrome as its similar area and symptoms A while ago I donwloaded and watched Mcgills DVD , very good !! I think I am at the less severe end of the scale , having read the mcKenzie method book , but still , annoying. Jason , It cant be the rower can it ? I row with nice form as for the unicycle, furthest I have gone is 10km | ||

 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22043 posts | At 43 I feel pretty healthy, fit and strong, but my back is quite fragile. It can injure spontaneously from doing NOTHING! It's the main reason I don't feel I could do strongman again. I do miss it  In terms of health and longevity, I think moderate exercise is key. I believe brisk walking is the best thing you can do. | ||

(i will be commuting on it) | ||

 'There was also a sausage in my mouth.' Member 2477, 16481 posts SQ 190, BP 130, DL 235555.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | hang on a minute. You're unicycling now? This is very enjoyable information. | ||

Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | I say strongman in jest but if I was just training for a base level of functional strength I would absolutely incorporate strongman lifts. personally, I think I would put myself at a higher back injury risk by purely using a barbell to train. | ||

old age traveller Member 332, 7865 posts | All sports (non contact) should be good for us older chaps The most important thing to remember we are not 18 and can not do the stuff we used to do DO plenty of rehab mobility yoga have lots of rest and sleep a cheeky nap if you can. Jonny the trouble is we are bipeds so many things that can f**k us up I have been struggling with pain but am working on my weaker areas (gluteus medius or whatever it is) and am gradually getting better From my one attempt on a unicycle I would say that is a quick way to get F**ked up. | ||
