Love this room, thought I'd add a little!
Had a really bad back for quite some time. On morphine and all the other drugs for quite a while.
Got into deep water arobics and core ball training. Both great! Tons of walking.
One excercise that really helped was this one.
Not as easy as it looks, but what a difference it made.
Google "Plank" there tons of variations.

The plank exercise ranked number 10 in the ACE study and is a great way to build endurance in both the abs and back, as well as stabilizer muscles. To do it right: 1. Lie face down on mat resting on the forearms, palms flat on the floor.
2. Push off the floor, raising up onto toes and resting on the elbows.
3. Keep your back flat, in a straight line from head to heels.
4. Tilt your pelvis and contract your abdominals to prevent your rear end from sticking up in the air.
(This REALLY important....Transverse Abdominus)
5. Hold for 20 to 60 seconds, lower and repeat for 3-5 reps.
