Incorporating physical activity into your week

A lack of physical activity and obesity results in a higher chance of developing back pain among other issues. There are many ways to incorporate healthy eating habits and physical activity into your week to get started on your back to health journey. 

1. Cardiovascular activity. Try to incorporate 30 minutes of moderate cardiovascular exercise at least 5 times per week. This could include a brisk walk, biking, swimming or running.
2. Weight bearing exercise. This is essential to maintain a healthy spine and bone density, and to build strong muscles. Always seek help from a professional if you are unsure of correct techniques. Examples of this type of activity can include resistance exercises, walking, running and using weights.
