I started working out a couple weeks ago with the Slim in 6 workout programs. In the videos, she has you do crunches. Everytime I try to do these I need to stop after 10 or so because my back starts hurting a bunch. I don't know whether it's because my form is wrong, or maybe it's just my back. I usually get back aches even when I don't work out. Sooo..Can anyone help me out? Maybe some alternative moves that aren't so hard on my back?

One thing to make sure of is that you are keeping your lower back pressed into the floor. If it is coming up and down it will kill your back.
