If you build up your muscles gradually,  then you won't  need these external supports.

Dear Sir, Please understand that the more healthy the life style the less likely spine problem in future. Please keep on doing the exercise as you said and no need to worry. Take care of your back and your back will take care of you.
Next Steps
- Maintain a good posture while sitting on a chair. Ensure that your back should be straight and the chair on which you are sitting should not go back more than 110 degree. - Your buttock should touch the back rest of the chair. If not then keep a pillow for support. - Avoid sitting without support for more than 15-20 mins - If sitting with support ensure that you are not sitting more than 45 mins. - If you have to sit more than 45 mins then just get up and walk for 5 second and sit back. - If you cant get up then try to stretch yourself and get back to normal posture. - Avoid slouch sitting while sitting on sofa. - If you are having long working hours at office and you need to use Computer I recommend to use Desktop. - Desktop should be at eye level and while using the same you need your wrist and elbows to be rested. - If elbows and Wrist are not rested they will cause unnecessary neck and upper back pain. - Make a habbit of walking for 5km or 50 minutes. Dont force yourself from day 1. Gradually increase the walking. It can take 4-5 months.
