Planks really helped my lower back. 1 minute face down, 1 on each side and 1 face up. If you can't make it to the gym, or you're feeling pressed for time, give it a shot. Everyone's different of course, and i'm not a doctor, but building up that core strength did a lot for me. I pretty much stole the warmup from reddit's bodyweightfitness https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommended_routine#wiki_warmup_.28.7E10_minutes.29 https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommend... The whole routine is good, but the warmup alone seems like enough to at least maintain my back.
