My back is the bane of my existence. Yes, I appreciate that I need it for life, but holy hell it annoys me.
Everything will be fine for a while, and then BAM! It goes out and I'm stuck laying down for at least half a day.
Of course, the fact that I'm up and around after that half-day is a testament to the work that Karen and I have done since February. Even with all that work, my back is giving me more problems than Karen or I would like, so we've decided to make some changes...
For the next 4-6 weeks, we're going to be working exclusively on core/back strengthening exercises to see if we can get my back to a more optimal place. Once we get there, I'll go back to my strength workouts. I'm going to keep doing the cardio because that doesn't usually cause me any pain.
If you're running into problems with pain in your workouts, it may be a good time to take a step back and see if you can do something to help the weaker parts of your body before pounding the hell out of them.
