36F. I am currently using a 20lb kettlebell to do fullbody supersets over 30 minutes. First, I do a particular move for 30s, then kettlebell swings for 30s and then rest for 30s, and the cycle repeats with a different move, kettle bell swings, then rest again.

I usually do this at home, barefoot & manage to get through the entire routine without discomfort.

Recently I started incorporating these exercises when I go to the gym. I try to follow the exact same routine over 30 mins with the same weights, but I wear running shoes.

Each time I had to stop halfway through because of lower backpain that accrued over time while doing kettle bell swings. As far as I'm aware I pay attention to my form & move the same way I do at home. I never had lower back discomfort while doing KB swings over the years, and always felt it in my glutes and hamstrings.

I'm starting to think if my shoes have something to do with this? It's the only variable i can think of.

Or is it being in a new place that's messing with my performance & form?

Any comments on how to overcome this??

- When he has particularly enjoyed the lunch box that I prepared for him, he sends me a photo of the empty box after he's finished eating, saying how much he enjoyed the meal, and thanks me for it.

- When his colleagues invite him for a group lunch, but he already has brought lunch from home, he calls me to say that his colleagues have invited him, and he is sorry that he won't be able to enjoy the lunch box today, and he appreciates that I worked hard to prepare it for him. (He keeps the lunch box in his office fridge for the next day).

- When he comes back home from work, the first thing he does is come to wherever i am and kiss me, then he goes to greet our sons.

- Never leaves the house without greeting me & the kids....even if it is to go pray at the mosque

- When I'm working at my desk, and if he happens to pass by, he asks me to stop for 5 minutes and gives me a quick shoulder rub.

- Has a habit of video calling my parents at least once a week to keep in touch

- Never let me clean the toilets + bathroom...even when I was a SAHW & he was working full time. He didn't want me doing 'dirty' work... I'd do all the other cleaning.

- Rejoices more than me when I achieve something inportant in my career.
