Hello everyone, first post here.
I'm 37M, started doing fitness 3 times a week 8 months ago. Was practically a literal couch potato till then. I have no injuries, but a few pains that I chalk up to needing to get in shape to overcome them.
I'm having some problems stretching my lower back and hip properly after training. The result is extended recovery and walking around like an 'old man' for longer than necessary.
Many lower back stretches arch your back, that's not what I need. Bending the back thoroughly to get a very low stretch seems to work better, I just can't seem to do it efficiently.
With the hips I usually sit down and then lean to the side with my entire body to create a stretch on one side at a time, but again, some places in the hips aren't fully stretched by doing this.
Any help would be welcome.
