spares agony of
gardener’s back

MONDAY MORNING is a
painful enough experience

of ‘Monday morning
gardener’s back,’ How
many of you started the
weekend with good inten-
tions only to end it with a
bad back?

Let’s take Chuck as an example.
He considers himself a physically
fit individual. He plays raquetball
twice a week with his buddies in
the office, jogs regularly, tears up
the trails on the mountain bike on
most weekends and watches his
diet.

And yet, here he is on Monday
