Not getting a good night’s rest can really aggravate your chronic back pain. It is frustrating to try to go to sleep with back pain only to have a restless night and wake up in even more pain.
Warm-up stretches are the foundation of flexibility and strength training and a base on which injury prevention depends. Stiff, inflexible tissues are much more likely to sustain an injury.

The question of when hominoids began to walk on two limbs rather than four is being defined by new fossil discoveries by anthropologists, but the question of why humans became bipedal may be more difficult to answer.
The physiology of walking is a complex combination of muscles and bones that requires demanding coordination. The knees′ main actions are bending (flexion) and extension, and both are intrinsic to walking.
