The next time that you are at the market, go grab a 20 pound bag of potatoes (if you are currently able to lift that amount). Twenty pounds feels like a lot, doesn't it?  

In turn, think about having that much weight added onto your body. Carrying around the additional weight wouldn't be the same as carrying around a twenty pound bag of potatoes because on the body, the weight is distributed - fairly evenly at that.

The added weight - whether it's 20 pounds or 100 pounds, creates stress on the back area. If you experience back pain, losing weight may help tremendously. Exercise also helps strengthen muscles and bones which in turn might help get you 'back' in the shape you desire!

Back Ache Tip: A warmed cloth spread with lavender oil may also help ease back pain.
