On one of my better days of surfing a few years back, I left the water barely able to bend over to take my leash off my ankle. Yep, my low back was killing me.
So many of us have had similar experiences, if not from surfing then from some other sports activity or even from simply moving the wrong way. While I've had a couple of other scares, my overall back health is much better because I've spent a lot more time strengthening my core and watching my form.
The New York Times' sports magazine Play makes the point that core strength, flexibility and cross training are crucial to low-back health. It even has three good exercises that'll help you rid yourself of back troubles.
