These are the exercises I have found so far to do from home to strengthen my middle and upper back. If I find more/better ones, I will make a note in my currently daily exercise post and I will update this post at that time. (I am also avoiding anything that requires bending over without my upper body supported, because of my lower back issues in the past.) Also, I have no idea if these will be enough to solve the pain that I am having, but I think that these are not too much to start with (especially if I keep the weight really low on the dumbbell rows, and I don't use any weights on the cobras). Thus, I will try these for a week and then re-evaluate.

"The Statue" (I can do this with my

Hooray for the internet! It makes my life better to be able to research this stuff, and collect it and publish it on my blog so easily!
