Elliptical: Trainers and spin cycles for cardio and fixed weight machines such as nautilus for strength. Follow back strengthening exercises as instructed by a sports related physical therapist. This will minimize your risk of recurrent back pain. There is also some benefit to inversion tables but not without expert advice and direction.
