Default Which Exercise routine?

Dear All,

I have a dilemma and would like to follow one of three routines below only. I am 35 and overweight (not obese) male and principle reason is to get toned and reduce my lower back pains in a few months and most importantly benefit me in 10 to 20 years time also:

1. Weight training + fast walking -Will this benefit or hurt me and my joints in the long run, as the sacrifice is a touch of agility and cardio. Though in the past it has helped my lower back.

2. Rebounding(mini-trampolining) + light weights -Google is full of re-cycled NASA (which was done on full trampolines) material by certain partial companies stating it's benefits, though I enjoy it, I'm not sure whether it will tone give me some muscle, and it hasn't helped my lower back in the past.

3. Punchbag 1 day/rebounding next/ Full weight training next/ and back to punchbag again etc etc -Enjoy the punchbag much but worried about my joints in my hands in 10 years time and also seems a bit a of everything with a possible result of minimal of everything ....if that makes sense.

Opinions please...and sincere thanks in advance
