Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.
The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.

It seems as though every time I jog my lower back is on fire and I cannot run anymore, it feels like I'm using my lower back muscle, but I even switch stance and it hurts like hell and I have to stop running. I think it has something to do with my ab/back workouts and not giving the muscles enough time to heal before my jog.
best shit money can buy! ^^

Tight hamstrings can cause lower back pain, do you stretch after running?

I avoid the treadmill or jogging at all cost, hurts my lower back and knees. I swear by the elliptical for cardio. I can be on it all day with no joint pain. It is very low impact on the joints and you will burn just as much calories if not more.

I would watch the incline that you are doing if any. Sometimes this can contribute to disk problems

How are your lower back muscles? I had the same problem and spoke with a trainer at work. He recommended some lower back exercises, mule kicks and other things that target the lumbar region. It worked for me.
However, I still hate cardio.
