A busted back

I am always a fan of warming up before a workout and stretching but somehow I did not do it right this afternoon when I went to do my weight workout.

I started with very light weights as a kind of warmup/stretch and as soon as I started with my lower back I felt my back seize up and I went down to the ground. One side of my lower back is OK but the other side is absolutely in pain whenever I try to move.
I am now stuck lying on the couch and trying to figure out how I did this bad pull to my lower back. Needless to say there will be a bunch of posts from me about strengthening your core. I have been hobbled and I seem to have trouble getting up at all so I am joined now to this couch.

My wife and the kids are enjoying calling me an old man and hopefully I heal soon enough to get a workout in again sometime next week but we all know how dangerous back problems are and how they can become chronic issues.

Looking to make a change and lose some weight? I have reviewed the top diet on the internet and you can go and read over 200 comments people have made about why this diet has worked well for them, as well as some of the problems.
