My husband has severe lower back problems since an operation a couple of years back and massage really helps him; it doesn't heal but it gives him pain relief. I used to use this jojoba massage oil (jojoba is actually not an oil, but a liquid wax) which has wonderful glide.

For equipment: see earlier posts, just weights , but I have put on my new hot pink running pants , making me feel very....yeah, sporty and fit.

HI! It was a bit hard to get up the motivation today but muscle soreness helped.  So here is what I did today. Are you following? Tips: being thirsty before exercise is not good, but having a bellyful of water isn't either. These training passes are so short you do not actually need to drink during.
