think about getting a recumbent bike. i put it in front of the TV, turn on CSI, and before i know it I've done 5 miles. I can feel it strengthening my knees...good luck !

Give yourself a postive as you are trying. I will be 77 in May. I too have lower back problems and severe arthritis in spine. It is why I do water aerobics as keeps weight of my joints when running and jumping.
But was told to keep from getting osterporosis needed weight bearing exercises. So I do walk 3 miles once a week and every night take my dog for a walk from 1-2 miles. I live in Florida so most of the time it is not too cold to do this. My dog loves the cold and will walk twice the distance he does when hot.
Again you are very proactive so give yourself a pat on back.
