I haven't been working out for a month now. Lately I always have or feel the urge to flex and stretch my leg muscles - especially at night when I am trying to sleep. Can this be associated with me not working out anymore or is this an entire different problem?
Constant urge to flex & stretch

thank you Incessantmace. I'll give that a shot. Hopefully I'll soon be able to sleep peacefully at night.
I have the same problem with my back. Almost a dozen times a day I have the urge to stretch my back, crack my back, etc to loosen it up. No idea how to fix this. I do back stretches, and it temporarily loosens up my back, but not for long.
Any advice, as to what the solution for a stiff back could be? Sorry for hijacking your thread.

So do a lot of guys who lift heavy weights. I see them doing it all the time. They say it relieves pressure or tension in the spine. They even do it on my high-backed dining room chairs.
I used to do it all the time, too. I don't do it as much, but my upper back tends to feel "tight" sometimes, so I like to bend over, hang on to the kitchen counter and stretch it out until I hear those beautiful cracking sounds. Ahhhh ... relief
Initially I thought it had to do with posture, but you look like you have really good posture in your flexing pose.
Sorry I can't help you with that.

Thank you again for the advice. I just did some of those leg stretching exercies and I feel slightly better. I'll see how I feel in two weeks.
