Can't do heavy cardio or big exercises due to back pain, but i can walk, lift light arm weights, light exercise videos. is this better than nothing?

Back pain : Yes. Avoid lifting weights if you have back pain. Focus on low impact cardiovascular exercise and get an evaluation by a spine specialist.
