Hurt my back doing burpees .

I would be too embarrassed to do something called a 'burpee'.

Better those than the Rusty Trombone

My back hurts when I am doing exercises. Why? Should I stop boxing?

Rest, apply ice packs for 20 mins every few hours, take over-the-counter pain relievers, and avoid strenuous activities. Consider seeing a doctor if pain persists or worsens. Take it easy, mate.

I totally get it—I hurt my back trying to keep up with an intense workout, thinking I was as fit as I used to be. It was a wake-up call when the pain hit, and I realized just pushing through wasn't the smartest move.

I saw Sina Hasheminejad, a , for help. He was really insightful, explaining my back pain in simple terms and setting me up with specific exercises and tips. He taught me core-strengthening exercises like planks and bird-dogs, which helped support my lower back. He also showed me proper stretching techniques, focusing on my hamstrings and lower back, to increase flexibility. Plus, he gave me advice on maintaining good posture both while sitting and standing, which made a big difference in how my back felt day to day. After following his guidance, I noticed a significant improvement in my back pain and my overall mobility.

Similar situation here. At 42, I pushed myself during a weekend hike, trying to keep pace with my younger friends Halfway through, I felt a sharp pain in my lower back that lingered for months. I tried all the usual creams and treatments, but nothing seemed to help. It was frustrating, as I thought I could still do what I once did.

Eventually, I decided to visit a , despite being an advocate for conventional medicine... To my surprise, the treatment worked wonders. I finally found relief. Highly recommend seeing a good specialist.

grab a foam roller and roll through your back (keep your core tight and spine secure and its safe) roll up and down your back and you should be fine.

Reason you hurt yourself I am assuming and pretty sure I am correct is when people get fatigue and dont have their form drilled down that is the first thing that they compromise to keep on pushing through but that is also the reason they get hurt without .

My advice to all my clients when pushing to failure is to push till you can no longer perform the rep with proper form anymore and that is failure. Drop the weight and rack out more sets till form failure. If you cant drop set anymore or you dropped about 30% of your top set you are done. Call it a day.

You overdid it a bit there! To ease the pain, take it easy and rest for a few days. Apply ice to reduce inflammation for the first 48 hours, then switch to heat to help relax the muscles. If the pain persists, consider seeing a physio to get specific advice. Stretch gently when you can, but don’t rush it. Most importantly, be patient with your body—it doesn’t bounce back like it used to, but with the right care, it’ll recover.
