I hurt mine too a few weeks ago lifting this heavy oil heater when we were removing it from a flat on the fourth floor with no elevator.
I am going to try and get in better shape this summer, doing my workout routine more regularly and with more intensity to try and shed some of this blubber around my waist. I am in good shape for 56 years old but I know I could be in better shape with just a little more effort. I need to cut back on the cheeseburgers, which I eat maybe once a week, and do more cardio and weight lifting. This new contractor who works in town at the HVAC corp told me that he would like to work out with me this summer and get in better shape so he can lift the heating and cooling equipment easier. He also wants to start doing yoga because his lower back has been hurting him from all of the heavy lifting. I hurt mine too a few weeks ago lifting this heavy oil heater when we were removing it from a flat on the fourth floor with no elevator. I’ve had issues with my back before and yoga seemed to really help ease the pain and get me more flexible so I don’t keep hurting it. I had to lift a heavy mini split a/c system once and hurt my back so badly that I couldn’t work for the HVAC supplier for two months. I don’t want to go through that again so I have been doing yoga every single day and plan on keeping it up for good. My cooling technician buddy joins me each day and we do yoga in my climate controlled yoga studio.
