You don't see the cause-effect relationship there? I don't have major back problems, but if I go out and do six straight hours of yard work, then my back & shoulders will ache, and I'll be shuffling around the next day.

Same with overdoing ANY physical activity I'm not in shape for. If I try to ski all day the first time it snows, I'll be crippled up for the next 2-3 days. If I ride the horse 10 miles or so the first time we're out in the spring, we'll both be crippled up, but after a few weeks of gradually increasing activity, that same ride is a pleasant afternoon out for both of us.
