    Exactly right. Just a bit of exercise every week is enough to get stronger muscles and no pain in back or anywhere else. At least that worked for me, and its easy to do.

    Peoples bodies are rarely used for physical work if you work in some sitting down position all day, and it means you lose all muscles with time.

      Stretching too, it doesn’t have to be complicated like yoga, just find a doorjamb and put your arm against it or push against a wall or something, try to touch your toes, raise your arms, breath deep and hold your positions, don’t wiggle or lunge, just stop where you feel a pull and hold it, try to cover all your major support areas.
