Transcript: One good way to prevent back pain is to get a little exercise during your workday. Here’s how to do it without looking absurd. Lower back pain is the cause of more sick days than any problem other than the common cold! Lower back pain commonly arises from poor conditioning. In other words, a weak back is likely to become an injured back. So, get moving! ANY regular aerobic exercise strengthens the muscles in the lower back, making them less susceptible to injury. You can also try THIS strengthening move to build your back. It’s so simple, you can do it at your desk—no sweat band required! Stand with the knee of the left leg bent at a 90° angle. Grasp the front of your ankle with the left hand and press your foot against the hand, away from your body. Hold for ten, and then repeat with the other leg.  See, preventing back pain is easy, even if you want to leave “getting physical” to Olivia Newton John!
