Paleo for weight loss; http://www.marksdailyapple.com/blog/ http://www.marksdailyapple.com/blog/ And lifting/barbells for body/core strength; https://www.youtube.com/user/athrall7 https://www.youtube.com/user/athrall7 As neverminder mentioned, form is critical and take it slow until you build strength. I do benchpress, overhead press, squats and deadlift every other day and I am in/out of the gym in an hour. I've had two cervical fusion surgeries and found that typical Rx of pills, back braces, bed rest, take it easy (i.e. become sedentary), etc. just make things worse because they weaken the structure.
