Crud! My first weight routine and my back is screwed!

Hi all! I decided to add some weight training to my routine. I'm a newbie so I got myself a dvd and a couple of 6lb. dumbells. I did the stretchy warm up thing on the dvd and I can't recall which move it was but my lower back on the right side totally got a big twinge in it. I tried a few more moves but gave it up. I hear that the worst thing for a back is to sit around so I've been movin but I feel like a little old lady with my hand on my back walking around with a kink in it. Ha ha...I'm only 31!

I felt so focused but probably didn't have the correct movement. How frustrating! I go to do something good and now I'm all screwed up. I feel like steam rolling over that stupid dvd.

You need to rest and ice your back. Also take some Advil for the pain. From one old lady to another  been there done that!
