Don- If you have some back pain, I'd definitely recommend that you check out Esther Gokhale's *8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back*. You can probably see the table of contents and read some sections over at Amazon to get a much better feel for her ideas and approach than I can give you here. I think your core, balance, and flexibility work, as well as, some of the suggestions above (floor sitting, using a standup desk, etc) can be helpful, but you might also really appreciate the framework provided in Gokhale's research in approaching how you interact with your daily environment. Good stuff indeed. There's even a picture or two of a person riding a bicycle in the book!
