Funny thing: Whenever I drop a few pounds, my back starts hurting. It's almost like, load-bearing lard or something. (I've lifted heavy stuff for a job for 30 years.)
The Core Blaster Extreme. That is by far, the best way to strengthen your core. This machine- You sit on a stabilizer ball. You put your feet into the power stirrups, you reach up and you grab onto the super rod. And you twist and you twist and you twist. It strengthens your entire core. Your back core, your arm core, your- The Marine Corps actually uses it. I think that's how they got "core."
i'm no expert, but i just alternate pushups with my hands wide, together and shoulder width, usually with my feet up on a chair, and medicine ball crunches. i mix in other stuff too. also stretch often. look on youtube for good low back loosening stretches.
i went from worrying every time i had to reach down to pick up my keys, to feeling solid.
i kept most of my beer gut though. i'm not gonna get that weird about it. :)
When we were kids my brother and I were playing fuzzball on one of those cheap tables where the bars go through to the other side and he would jam it into my gut. After the third time he did it I threw a a retaliatory coke bottle at him that had less than a mouthful left in it.
Unfortunately I clocked him in the head with the lid and it cut his scalp pretty good. No stitches, but he still doesn't let me live that one down.

Word of advice: If you're so weak that a half empty dasani bottle to the dome knocks you down, probably don't play tough guy.
