If you live an inactive lifestyle, you may find yourself more prone to injuries. If an injury to the back occurs, one might even face consistent lower right back pain that can become increasingly debilitating. Now, some may wonder how such a thing could possibly happen if a person is not active. After all, would not one who was constantly involved in physical activity be more prone to suffering and injury as opposed to someone who was not physically active. There is actually an interrelation between the two as well as no relation between the two. In other words, one who is physically active may be more at risk that someone who isn’t, but that doesn’t mean someone who is never active will not be at risk for a back injury because of the risks that atrophy might cause.

How Inactivity Causes The Potential for a Back Injury and Lower Right Back Pain

When a person does not exercise or work out, the muscles lose mass and can become susceptible to strain or tears. If a person is lacking in a certain level of musculature, then the person – for lack of a better word – is somewhat weak. Because of the absence of a decent level of strength, the person may have to strain when performing a physical task and if the intensity level of the task is not what a person is used to performing, then the potential for injury is dramatically increased. For example if one spends all day working at a desk, the muscles will atrophy to a certain degree. This same person opts to move a couch one day and the muscles, not used to consistent physical movement, will not handle the weight of the couch well and an injury can occur. From this, significant lower right back pain may result. This lower right back pain may even linger for weeks if not months. Needless to say, the need to develop some degree of muscle mass is required in order to avoid such needless injuries.

Avoid Lower Right Back Pain with a Simple Workout

If you have limited time to workout and can’t visit a gym, here is a simple body weight mass building workout you might be able to perform: try three sets of 10 – 20 pushups, sit ups and squats. Then try to jump rope for 1 -2 two rounds at three minutes. Now, this may seem like very little and that is because it is very little. It is, however, effective at reducing injuries and back pain.
