situps are obsolete, crunches only

I have the same problem but it's going away. Do back exercises then your crucnhesd won't hurt as much. As for the tip about doing crunches instead of situps, it's true but it will hardly eliminate the back pain.

What kind of back exercises can I do then to strengthen my back? I have had this problem for years.. it is quite annoying.
