Spine popping: The normal range of motion in most joints is accompanied by various popping, clicking, or snapping sounds. This is normal. If you are getting lots of such sounds from your spine, it does imply that you have good range of motion, and this is a good thing. For example, if you practice yoga, you will notice a lot more of these sounds in your spine as you increase your flexibility and range of motion.

See below: This is a good question. It is definitely possible to strengthen the abs without straining the lower back. This usually involves learning how to contract the back and abdominal muscles at the same time. This takes some practice. You can work with a trainer, physical therapist or yoga therapist and they should be able to help you.
