Wednesday Q&A Ep 724: Morning Stretches, Toe Stress Fractures, & Fitting in Exercise

Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them!
In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about remedies morning low back pain and stiffness, advice on a stress fracture in a toe, and advice on balancing exercise amongst everything else in life.
Your questions:
Do you have a favorite stretch or exercise to alleviate low back pain and stiffness in the morning?
I recently developed a stress fracture in my 4th metatarsal. I healed quickly, but was quite surprised when it happened, as I thought my feet were relatively strong. I've had my LYT practice for years, and I run, hike, strength train, and do lots of plyometric work. I suspect rucking on the treadmill in my minimalist shoes contributed to the fracture. What are your thoughts on footwear for these activities?
Can you give me advice on how to balance exercise with all the other activities and responsibilities in life?
