Okay so my back isn't literally broken, but a few months ago I really damaged the base of my spine at work. Does anyone have any suggestions for exercises I could take up? I can't do Body Combat or Body Pump at the gym anymore. High intensity is a no go :(
I used to go swimming before I piled on the pounds but now I'm too embarrassed to go.

    what did the physical therapist and doctor say? If swimming is approved, then go do that, it is a good whole body exercise.

    I find it very difficult to go swimming because of my size, I'm mortified to be in a swimming costume.

    OK, but like nordlead asked: what did your PT and/or doctor (preferably PT) say? He/she is much better suited to advising you on your specific condition/injury than anyone here that hasn't seen your medical history/results.
