Shortly after discovering that I've started to groan when picking things up from the floor, I discovered wall angels. My back has felt stiffer than it did when I was in my 30s, and I've been worried that the hours spent at my desk every week have been giving me a 'hump' for a while, but this was eye-opening.
I regularly do strength training at home, Pilates roll-ups in my bedroom, and get outside for a walk in a weighted vest often, so I think I'm fitter than most. However, this told me I'd missed something off the list of exercise benefits. It was time to bring my back, shoulder, and neck mobility up to scratch.
