It may seem odd, but doing crunches helps. A lot. Getting those abs in shape helps to pull the back together too!

    Pretty sure they have debunked both of those. Crunches put a lot of strain on your lower back, and it's also not great to use ab muscles to suck it in all the time. You're compressing your gut instead of developing the correct back muscles that should be holding you up.
