Answer 2

If ur doing crunches on the floor and ur spine hurts, then ur probably doing them wrong. If you are moving your neck when ur doing a crunch that means you are doing them wrong and that would probably be the cause of the pain in your spine. The proper way to do a crunch is to let your abs pull up your body instead of your neck.

Answer 3

idk about the bicep curls but on the abs, what i do is lay on the bed and put 2 pillows that ive folded in half right at the base of my spine, but dont sit on them. and do crunches like that. you feel the burn and you work them out more because you can lean back more.

its kinda like that one ball that theyre selling on tv that you do the same thing w/.

good luck
