Is been a month that I stopped gym because of my lower back pain and recently started it again slowly working upper body and core. But I have felt so guilty all this time and afraid I will loose my muscles and body. Has anyone experienced smth similar and how did you overcome the fear?

You need to realize that gym and anything you do should not become an obsession. I am guilty of this myself. If you go to the gym for a long time and your health requires you to, missing out a few days/weeks is not a big problem because you will reach the same level you were at, in half the time you took the break

Spouse had lower back problem too, went to an orthopedic doctor to find out the problem, it was a herniated disk, did some therapy until healed, then she did pilates to strengthen her back muscle and core, it's been ~5 years, so far so good

When I’m not able to give as much time to being active as I would like, I try to round it out with the areas that I can control such as my diet. Also, recognizing that there are seasons for everything, is helpful as well. Also also, try to understand where the guilt comes from! I could go on 🤪

I hear you. I am terrible trying to rest when injured. I find active recovery is always the best. Your body will let you know if you push it too far. All the best

I’ve been keeping out of the gym for only one week because of back pain and I already feel the guilt! Whatever you do, no matter how short the session, better to work out a bit just to keep the habit built in.
