What is the best exercise to begin with when you have back problems?

Question:

I've had a back problem since 2001 and as a result have been less active. I also suffer from depression and anxiety so I have also lost confidence in myself. I do walk the dog but I need some help. Don't know where to start.

Answers:
there are excercises for the back. you can look it up on line, they are easily found. i had back problems in the past and physical therapist showed me the same ones i found online.

ive had a similar problem and the best thing i thought that actually help me was yoga. like stretching, but with yoga i took my time and wasnt forced to go crazy all at once. at your local bookstore there's probably a book or video. i hope this helps.

well what i would do is ... push ups!

Swimming

A lot of back problems are solved by strengthening your core muscles-- look at some yoga..
