Have you tried pilates, it's good. Rolling around on a ball for strengthning exercises. It works very well for an aching back. Please let me know about your experiences with pilates.

I have heard about Pilates but I never really knew what it did or what the benefits were....

It's a lovely exercise without really straining yourself. The teacher will tell you what to do.

I love Pilates workouts! They are great for strengthening your "core" which is why it helps you if you have an aching back. Your stomach muscles are able to stabilize you and relieve the stress on your back. The exercise ball helps even more. I just wish that I could take the Pilates class on the machine. Have you tried that one?
