DDD is serious. Please listen to your doctor. Take it slow whatever you do and listen to your body. I’ve had some great PT help me w my lower back and build core strength. It’s a slow journey so be careful with any weight lifting. Swimming helps a lot and jus5 walking in the water.1

I’m not new to fitness. However I have digenerative disc disease and spinal stinosis. My doc had warned me against doing any lower back lifting what so ever. I’m fairly strong and love to workout. I have been told that swimming and walking will help strengthen my lower back but so far nothing has happened. So I guess I have to rely a lot on diet at this point to shed the extra fat. If anyone has any ideas on how this is achievable I would appreciate the advice greatly
Try water jogging if water walking is too easy for you, deep water aerobics, and doing slow lap swimming. I have DDD, spinal stenosis and sacroilliac joint dysfunction and lap swimming has really helped me. I weaned myself off my pain meds.
If your pool has a nice jacuzzi spa, consider trying it before and/or after your swims your dr approves.
I love my YMCA! I love swimming, because I keep it fun, which makes my longer workouts easier to do.2 -
Thanks. I was curious about these but wasn’t sure if it was too strenuous. Well outside of swimming. This was very insightful0
