100% encourage anyone past 30 to start working on your core strength, a sore back can frequently be caused by a weak core. I only take started focusing on that when I turned 40 and it's made a huge difference! Just a few minutes a day or every couple of days is all it takes. Get a kettlebell, do 30 swings, then a 1-2 minute plank, then 30 more swings and you're done. It will really help with the back pain, believe me!

What exactly is a swing? Cause I just imagine spinning in circles letting it go and destroying my TV. I assume back and forth? Or in front of me? Over my head? 90 degrees?

If you have 60 spare TVs to break everyday, that works out perfectly. Otherwise, I recommend watching this tutorial:

No joke I might actually go out and buy one today if it's this easy to do in my apartment.

So I bought a kettle bell yesterday. I can definitely feel it, we'll see if it helps!
