It’s encouraging that your chronic lower back pain hasn’t increased with jogging. This could indicate that your body is adapting positively to this form of exercise. However, it’s essential to listen to your body and consult a healthcare professional if you experience any discomfort. Gradually building your exercise routine and incorporating stretching or strengthening exercises can further support your back health. Remember, consistency and mindfulness in your daily rituals are key to achieving lasting healthy habits.

The pain not increasing is a good sign. Were you concerned that the pain has stayed the same or has not decreased? just make sure you are doing warm up and cool down. Wear proper shoes, check form, and ease yourself into the training (i.e intervals, speed).
