I have serious back problems and I'm trying to get back in shape. I need to know some safe exercises for your back that will help build strength.

Your doctor or therapist is the one you should be talking to since everyone is different. I didn't restrict myself at all 20 years ago after surgery and wound up slowing my recovery big time. Before surgery, I did a fairly "normal" routine but stayed away from moves that isolated my back too much and pretty much stayed with compound moves.
