Suggestions? I have a back injury and I just can't lift anything without causing more damage and pain. I am still physically active and can do other things, I just can't pick things up.

    You need a physical therapist or trainer that is familiar with your particular issues.

    I would ask your physician, physical therapist or chiropractor about this.

    Exercising in chest high water will give a much more significant resistance to anything you do while also cushioning you
