Last month I went on a technical canyoneering & rappelling trip through slot canyons in Zion National Park with a bunch of teenagers. Last week I was moving 150lb barrels of chicken feed. This month, shoveling snow for myself and multiple elderly neighbors. Mid-forties, desk job. Weight lifting helped. The daughter piggyback example is interesting - my initial experience with back pain came when playing with my toddler daughter several years ago. "Threw out my back". Yes, strength helps with everyday tasks.
