Was told by spine doc to move away from running and get into biking or use the elliptical.
Really? I've had multiple therapist tell me that walking/running were good for the bulging disk in my lower back. I had one therapist tell me that sex was also good for my back. I made her write it down so I could show it to my wife.
I'll echo what the other poster said: core strengthening. Planks, side planks, bird dog, Russian twist, etc, but not crunches or situps. Those killed my back.

I don't think it's a bulging disk issue. Something has narrowed or thinned that can lead to pressure on the nerves. Somewhere near the S5 or S4 joints. I'm not too familiar with joint names, etc
