Cold mornings: give your back a two-minute warm-up

Cold air makes everybody tense up, and a tight back is a cranky back. Before you head out or hop in the car, try two minutes: a few slow pelvic tilts, gentle knee-to-chest on each side, and a short walk around the house. Layer up so your shoulders and low back stay warm, and warm the car before you sit in it. Wear shoes with grip so you are not bracing against ice. If something starts to flare, ease off and move gently instead of freezing in place. Not medical advice, just habits that tend to help.
