I have a really bad back, and need to get into shape. Anyone know of some exercises I can do to help and will not hurt me further. I know there will be pain from working out but bad pain. Cannot run, lift more than 15pounds, and no jumping more than 5 times.

    Swim Swim Swim!! Or even just walk in the water!

    This takes all the weight off you, but at the same time adds resistance to every movement you make. Join a local YMCA and if they have a pool they will usually have a water aerobics class. And this goes for most workout places with a pool. I used to teach those classes and after two classes, I was so worn out and i was the youngest one there while these great older folk just laughed and laughed at me.

    Try it out.

    I think an exercise bike would work well for you too.
