Bump.
Had a terrible pain in my mid/lower back this morning after the usual 5-mile commute. Never had this before, but thinking it may be a combination of a month off over Christmas and a new Chrome bag (used to use a regular rucksack).
Ibuprofen has sorted be out for now, but I'd prefer it not to happen again. How can I build up this 'core muscle strength'? I've never set foot in a gym, but am very willing to start if it will help me to keep my back in order. Any suggestions gratefully received!
