My first suggestion for lower back pain is a foam roller. Yes, it's kind of like stretching, but has REALLY helped me with lower back pain (especially hitting the glutes and hips with it). But...like I said, that's maybe too close to stretching for you.
I endorse walking, but I prefer to run for my "exercise that's not on a bike." Running a a nice easy pace is a great fully body workout...same as walking, but it takes less time to burn the same number of calories. A good post-run stretch of the hamstrings, quads, knees, and hips is also a good idea, but again...I know you won't have any of that. :) Ben On Monday, November 16, 2020 at 12:30:08 PM UTC-6 Patrick Moore wrote: > To put this in context: I read that the British Marines "yomped" 80 lb > over 3 days to get to the battle zone in the Falklands; that applicants to > British Gurkha regiments must still run up hillsides carrying 80 lb baskets > of stones; and that 18th and 19th century coureurs des bois humped 200 lb > loads over hills to span rapids separating streams navigable by their > canoes -- and if Quebecois of the old generation that I saw in the > '80s/'80s are indicative, these were little men about 5'3" tall -- > basically, the same size as my mother's generation of Filipinos.
