What are some effective ab exercises that don't hurt your lower back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plank ab exercises: Typically, ab exercises require you to contract your abdominal region, causing flexion of your lower back. To avoid this, try plank abdominal exercises. The image shows the basic starting position, then variations are added by lifting your arms or legs individually to increase the intensity.
