IMHO, being physically active makes you fit. My father has a bad back. My brother has a bad back. I truly believe that if I was not so active (soccer 6 days a week, including lots of goalkkeeping, skydiving, rock climbing, scuba, etc....) I would have been a spiney much sooner. My first MRI was in 1988 showing degenerated L4-5 and L5-S1. I did not treat for almost 10 years of intense activity... only after getting rear-ended on the freeway on the way to work, did spine become my life.
Good luck...
Mark
