I'm not sure exactly what exercises are good for back pain but just remember that any activity you can do will help even if it is low intensity. But be careful not too push yourself to hard. And don't sweat those 6 lbs. You've lost them before you will do it again.
Good luck and I hope you feel better soon :flowerforyou:0 -
:frown: I'm sorry you are hurt I hope you start to feel better and please do get your back checked by your Doc. Don't feel bad though. I was 195 Friday and this morning (weighted myself early when I shouldn't have) I was 200! I went over my calories this weekend so I know it's my own fault but it motivates me to try that much harder...don't let it get you down...you may not loose as much not being able to stay active, but if you limit your calorie intake and watch your diet you can still stay on track just at a slower pace.
We all cheat on our diets, some justified cheats some not so much (like mine ) but I have faith you will overcome. Please see the Doc hon!

thanks, I saw the doctor in the E.R. right after the wreck happened and they said it was just a back strain.0 -

i think that in addition to what everyone said about walking...etc, you should also pick up a yoga video from the library and do some yoga exercises. they are great for strengthening the back. Just be sure you go slow and if it hurts, dont push yourself.

#16 always feels really good on my back and helps to strenthen. you dont have to go up that high, just whatever is comfortable. hold for a few seconds, then release and repeat.0 -
I have suffered from back strain a lot over the years and have found that yoga is a great help. I do it at home with the help of Rodney Yee dvds. The beginner series. It's important to watch the instructional portions of the video to insure you are doing the movements correctly. I find that it helps loosen everything up nicely when done correctly. I have been doing it for several years now and find that my back is much better, my core much stronger and my sciatica doesn't seem to flair up quite as often as it used to.
Hope that helps.0 -
I have gained 6 pounds. I am not going to let it get me down though, I am going to work thru this and get back on it and continue on my weight loss journey. I can't do much exercise right now, I think that I hurt my back in the wreck that we were in. It has really been bothering me lately. What are some exercises that I can do without messing up my back?
I would stick to light cardio and use the bike and keep off any weights that would use your back. Swimming is great!!!! So if you have access, get in the water :bigsmile:0 -
