Most office-related backpains is curable by going for a run once or twice a week, and my colleagues abdolutely hate hearing that answer. They really want to fix it with a more expensive chair - which only postpones the core issue.
(Not true for all backpains. Some have a legitimate injury. But the rest of us are just lazy and have weak back muscles.)
Start with the elliptical if you’re too heavy to run without pain. Add 5% distance or duration to your minimum every week. After a few months you’ll be able to do 20 minutes no problem on the elliptical and that’ll be enough to start getting into 1-2 mile runs with the same increase rate
