Injured my low back simply bending over to do a home chore yesterday morning before work. Felt it slightly give out but no pain, but then pain gradually set-in by the time I arrived at work. Not an especially bad episode but annoying after all the little injuries I've picked up and healed from the past couple of weeks.

Work has a broken treadmill so during my lunch break, I leaned forward to grab the handles and manually moved the track by walking, which is a good decompressor for the low back. Did the same while facing backwards.

Went to boxing anyways. Wore my Cerberus soft belt for support. Skipping rope was a stiff affair, as I had to brace my abs to keep my back protected, but I was able to handle it and making it a harder task is good training anyways. When we partnered up for combo work afterwards, I let my partner know I'll be moving cautiously if we have to duck under any hooks as a drill, but surprisingly, I felt really good once we were moving. When it indeed came time to duck, I was able to do so without pain. And mercifully, there was no ab work at the end of class. I could have done crunches but would not have attempted any type of leg raises.

Back felt worse again at night. Went on a walk and sent an email cancelling Thursday boxing. This morning, though, I'm wishing I hadn't, as I could handle it if I'm careful.
