How do i fix back pain when doing ab exercises?

Strengthening: Making your abdominal muscles stronger helps because it takes some of the stress off your back muscles. There are a lot of exercises you can do to strengthen your "core" that will benefit your back.

Core strengthening: Strengthening the core muscles can help chronic low back pain. This includes conditioning of the abdominal muscles and the low back muscles as well as the chest and lower extremities in a balanced fashion. Avoid impact exercises (such as long distance running) and try low-impact alternatives such as the elliptical machine or stationary bicycle.

Not always: If it were that simple we would have eliminated back pain in fit patients which is not the case. Core exercises are usually beneficial but if pain persists then other structures (facet joints or discs) may be damaged and in need of treatment.

Depends: If your back pain is due to poor core muscle strength, abdominal exercises can help depending on the type but should be combined with a flexibility program and cardiovascular one as well. The abdominal muscles are only a part of the core musculature needed for back stabilization.
