Ooh, interesting. Thank you!

I may have to check out some of those recs; I have always found yoga to be fabulous for my lower back issues, and when I finally got my old grumpy overweight partner to try it, he got off all his meds and threw away his cane.

I'm not sure the other part would be a good idea--I have crackly joints that overextend, and have always found weights to be a problem, but some of the ideas in that part seem very good, as well.
