I've had the same problem, and currently I dont' do any abdominals. My problem is my neck. even some of the upper body exercises bother it.

I've posted for suggestions and received many, but they pretty much all require additional equipment....or a gym.

I'm planning on joining a gym soon, mainly for the abdominals. In my case, I'll be able to have a (free) personal trainer when I start, so I'm hoping this will work. I know, from years ago, that there's an abdominal machine where you are sitting and bend forward against a bar. I know this won't stress my neck, but not sure about the lower back (I have problems in both areas).

The one home exercise, that I still haven't been able to try, uses the exercise bands. You'd attach them to something then, while sitting bend forward against the bands. Sounds like it'd work, just haven't been able to get the bands to try it.

Maybe send Dan or Fern an PM about this topic?
