People are amazed at how great their back feels after losing those unwanted pounds.

Working out too hard or misusing the back when exercising is also a common problem that typically causes back pain. Many people try to pull or push too much weight when working out and wind up using the back muscles, which just injures them. They are typically guilty of using improper form when working out which itself can strain the back; when the back is cramped up during exercise of course it will be in pain later.
