Scott,

Until I started working my abs 5-6 days a week, I had back problems due to weak core muscles. I do a kneeling crunch using rope handles on a cable machine. You can use really light weights to start and add weight as you become more fit. You face the weight stack on your knees holding ropes on the side of your face and then the pull down with your abs, crunch. Keep your back rigid. It looks like doing prayers while on your knees bending at the waist. You have constant pressure on your abs and engage the core muscles along your spine as you control the weight up.

Hope that makes sense.
