Default Back protection/support

I have a bit of a bad back and I've been gardening again so it's starting to

their backs while working in the landscape?

You won't like the answer. (I don't like it either.) The only thing that works
for me is year-round combined aerobics, stretching and weight conditioning. I
hate exercise, but when I do it, I can do things like move dirt around without
pain. (I take a class at a gym where the teacher is there with all the safety
reminders.)
