cycling

If it is an emphatic yes for swimming to cure the back pain, it is a strong no to the cycling, unfortunately. Millions of children and youth all over the world may not like this observation, but facts are facts.

Cycling done for long hours, contributes to many types of bodily imbalances, and may aggravate your back pain. However, cycling done for short durations may not do any major damage. It should be treated as just one of those exercises.

It is generally believed that cycling is one of the best methods to control and improve your overall fitness. While you do cycling, you get exercise to every part of your body. As you peddle, it is a good breathing exercise as well, provided you do it properly. But cycling has some disadvantages, especially if you have back pain.

running

As a runner I have suffered through many different injuries and looking back on all of them I have come to the conclusion that most of them were due to my poor running form. As I look back at how I used to run I can see the reason I had my various injuries. My knee problems were because I was relying too much on the padding in the heels of my shoes and striking the ground very hard. My plantar fasciitis was because of the way I was striking the ground. I was getting shin splints because I was relying on those muscles to actually propel myself forward as I run.

I tired many things to fix these injuries. I went to doctors who told me to rest and do some stretches and that worked for a while until I started to increase my mileage again then an injury would happen. Anytime I got injured I would have to take time off from running and that bothered me. Running is what gives me time to think.

The answer came to me when I read Born to Run.There is a guy in the book named Barefoot Ted and he is a real guy that really runs barefoot. The book raised all sorts of questions and I thought a lot about those questions. One in particular was why wasn’t Barefoot Ted always getting injured. He is older than me and runs without shoes. The book touches on barefoot running and what a few sports medicine doctors think about it. It sparked my interest and I decided to look into it a little more.
