You should try doing elbow planks for your back pain. I'm pretty similar in size to you, although with an extra inch and 10 extra pounds. Working retail used to be enough to put me out of commission for days, but planks helped a lot with that. If you don't know how to do them, just picture a pushup, except you're on your elbows instead of your hands, and you're just holding yourself up. I just did one a day for as long as I could, and it really helped strengthen my core and back muscles.

I may have to give it a try! Thanks for the info, anything can help right. It's better then walking around with the ache non stop.

Have a chance to try them yet? I'm curious to see how your results compare to mine.
