What is the best sport for neck/shoulders and belly?

I'm not a big fan of the sport clubs, but as I'm in IT my neck and back are hurting me. I was wondering if there was a specific sport that I could do to strenghen the belly to support my back, and also strenghten my neck too, knowing that I already go to work (around 2.5km go to and 2.5 to go back) by bike everyday.

Thanks!

Note: I'm not a doctor and have no sports training. Please consult your doctor or trainer.

I've had knee and back problems recently and have been doing physical therapy. A lot of the exercises I've been given over the first five sessions are things my trainer from five years would do with me and call "core training."

Also, I've started doing pilates seems to be an amazing way to build up your core without impact.

Jason's right. You need to familiarize yourself with the concept of "core". Life gets much less painful when it's strong.

I have scoliosis, so my back is always in pain. But during periods of my life where I was doing a well-rounded strength training program, My back has hurt less.

Like Jason, I'm NOT a doctor, so I'd seriously recommend talking to one. And spring for a personal trainer, too. They're well versed in what exercised will help you most.
