Back pain and its demise
In the past, I've participated in team sports and cross-trained regularly. I still occasionally take part in some physical activity (skiing, sailing) but definitely not as often as I'd like nor as often as is good for me. As a result, my back muscles have weakened significantly causing plenty of discomfort and even severe pain. This is something I'd like to prevent with some fitness (go me).
1. Does anyone know back-strengthening exercises, especially for the lower back?
2. Are there methods of easing back pain aside from medication, and which do you find work best?
