A member asked:

I'm 6'8" and have a really weak back. what kind of exercises can i do to strengthen my back and shoulders on a busy schedule ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Back or Front?: Sometimes, it's not a back problem - it's a front problem. Abdominal exercises, like crunches and planks are easy to do anywhere - and the core strengthening may help your back. Good luck. LGromkoMD
