@imallears, Yes! I've been doing the child's pose but didn't know what it was called until just not doing a google search for it and also the Happy Baby. Not sure about the 2nd one may have to ask you offline about part of that one. I agree that movement, getting up from sitting, standing and walks really help me most when my back goes out. If I could just stand still longer, that is often the best but motion is soo important.
I do the same getting up from the floor by rolling over on my side and pushing up with my hands from floor. And again, I do the knee grab to help me out of the bed when in back pain. I don't track distance when walking but doubt I'm making 2 miles most days. Good that you can...and you also mentioned a friend's jogging. Do you also sometimes jog? Impressive. That stopped for me some time ago but happy to hear you may still be able to do that! Laughing at your sweating eyelashes! Maybe that was what kept fogging up my glasses yesterday! Stay well, take care and thanks for back pain suggestions.

Hi,
I don’t jog at all. When the weather was cooler I would sort of sprint between mailboxes on my route or sprint or to the gate in my subdivision as it opened. It’s just too hot and muggy now. First day I haven’t walked in weeks. I got up too late which is unusual but that’s okay.
I did the child pose yesterday and it is easy for me...sort of like a resting pose between reps. For the Happy Baby pose picture a baby on the floor with his legs straight up in the air playing with his toes. I lay flat on the floor...no shoes...grab my feet by the toe area and pull my legs straight up so I am in an L shape position. I hold that position, keeping head on floor...do a few scissors and then lower my legs to the floor. But then I do 10 leg raises up and down right after that. First time I tried I kept rolling to the side.
This is not for everyone and I am not advising anyone to try it. It just keeps me limber.
I ordered and received a portable kitchen island yesterday. My son in law had to help me open the box...it was like a jig saw puzzle. I will attempt to put that together today until he gets over here tonight to help me. I’ve put things together before but this may require 2 people.
So Ill walk around my island today if I can get it set up...if not I just walk around the gigantic box it came in that’s in my kitchen along with a whole lot of little boxes. Time to go be a Happy Baby.
