Back pain 40+ isn't always age - it's sitting. Hips locked, back pays.
If you ask most guys over 40 why their back hurts, they'll shrug and say "I'm just getting older."
But here's what's really happening…
You've been driving a desk for 20+ years and your body adapted accordingly.
Your glutes - the biggest muscle in your body - are designed to move and extend the hip. Not sit on a chair for 8 hours.
Sitting all day makes them weak from disuse.
If you were actually designed to sit all day, those wouldn't be muscles. They'd be cushions.
Worse, your hips tighten up in all 360 degrees around both hip joints.
So your glutes aren't doing their job. And your lower back picks up the slack. And if your doc hasn't diagnosed you with an acute medical issue, that's the real reason your back hurts.
