Did you know that lower back pain affects 80% of adults at some point in their lives? Depending on the severity, it can make everyday life harder, and keep you from doing the things you love most—but there's a lot you can do to help prevent it.
What's the Better Back Challenge?
First, check with your doctor to be sure it's okay for you to start any physical activity. Then, do 1-4 of the healthy back activities on the attached flyer every day for four weeks. Log your activities on the challenge tracker -- submit that tracker to be entered into the prize drawing!
Learn more about the challenge, back health, and how to use the tracker at the kick-off webinar on May 3rd: 9:30 am, 12:00 pm, or 4:00 pm CST (NOT required to participate in the challenge!)
