What were your lifting/workout plans when you were first cleared to do so?

Gentlemen, I posted this in another section but would like to get feedback from you men out there as it will probably be more my speed. I don't mind the women's input but I'm looking for weight lifting advice. I was cleared to start lifting but have to keep it light weight for now. I have experience and have done a ton of research but I'm at a loss for where to begin. I've got a bad back but I'm hoping that building and toning my back muscles will help alleviate it somewhat. I have a lot of videos to follow right now with just body weight workouts and will probably start out with those. I'll keep walking so that will take care of my cardio. What or how did you guys start out. Thanks in advance Gents!!

Did you end up starting the Convict Conditioning program? If so, what's your progress been like?

I got the book after I read your post, and just starting Part 2 where they describe each of the big six. It's been a good read so far.

My lazy A$$ hasn't started anything. I've done prep to start but have not physically done anything. Will/want to start soon though. Grats on starting, how are you feeling?
