Answer #1

You can stretch before sit-up’s and drink water before you start. That helps me a lot.

Answer #2

Best bet is always see a doctor or chiropractic before you continue. Or do it slower without over doing it.

Answer #3

I have bought those Icy hot patches you buy at the store, They stick to your back, it worked wonders for me.

Answer #4

make sure your back is completely straight if it is not then you can get very badly hurt and remember the more you excersize the less it will hurt

Answer #5

Ok when you do that put a pillow under t where you know its going to hurt
