Herniates Disk - How to workout without it happening again

Options
Hello MFP,

This is the second time I have caused a Herniated Disk in my back while working out and it puts me out for at least a week :( Does anyone else live with this problem and how do you go about keeping to working out hard to drop the weight with out having this pain reoccur and prevent exercise?

Its so frustration..Right when I'm in it strong this happens and leaves me in unbearable pain and unable to work out. :(

Help Please!!
