[quote=Anonymous]I'm 43 - in my 30s I had a lot of lower back problems, and I credit strength training (dumbbell workouts, not crazy heavy, 10-15 lbs) and cardio dance and walking with getting me better and being largely incident-free for about 7 years. Like every woman in her 40s I'm constantly hearing that I should be focused on strength training and sometimes think I should be using heavier weights. However, I recently had a chest x-ray for an unrelated issue and it showed degenerative disc disease, and I also threw out my mid-back recently doing something stupid. These incidents have made me question whether I am in fact doing what's best for my body and whether all the squats etc. are maybe not the right approach. Anyone else grappling with this? [/quote]
