It's never too late to start a health and fitness routine. Whether you're a total newbie who has never exercised a day in their life, or perhaps you've taken a multi year hiatus from exercising for whatever reason, getting started again is never out of the question.

In today's episode we'll discuss:

- why it's not too late to start, even in your 50's

- establishing a baseline

- what to prioritize

- scaling things appropriately given your age, training history, etc.

- why it's vital that you think of yourself as an athlete

- how to simplify nutrition

- why recovery is super important

- why being good consistently is better than being great occasionally

Let's talk about your mindset when it comes to health and fitness. Is it setting you up for success or slowly but surely sabotaging all of your efforts? Whether you're an all-or-nothing type of person, or maybe you're constantly comparing yourself to others, how you view and approach your fitness might be the reason you do or don't see success.

In today's episode with a title laced with misleading innuendo, I'll discuss how you can help alleviate your chronic low back pain without leaving your bed (no, this is not an episode claiming sex will cure your back pain). Instead, I'll explain how you can do several exercises first thing in the morning without even leaving your bed that can help get rid of that annoying stiffness many people suffer with.

As promised, here is a list of the exercises with video demonstrations:

1. Diaphragmatic breathing

2. Deadbug

3. Segmental Cat Cow

4. Side lying hip CAR

5. Side lying T-spine rotation (open book)

6. Alternating hip bridge march
