Active lifestyle: The cracking sound when you perform that maneuver is 'normal' but don't do it often. It's best to strengthen your back with daily exercise. You could see a gym trainer to get some advice on how to strengthen your back. Or just walking daily will help. Immobility/sedentary lifestyle is bad for the back
