I have arthritis in my back.

I can no longer practice acrobatics or gymnastics in general...

Until I get better that is.

The pain can be quite severe and has left me with a severely diminished number of exercises that I can do pain free.

With the injury/illness lately I have not been doing my strength training. Hopefully i can get semi-back on track.

This is my first week doing wide grip pull-ups and wide grip push ups, so they're a bit sketchy.

There is a bit of foul language in the first 15 seconds, but none after that.
