How to remedy back pain with sit-ups and crunches?

Question by Double O. Deege: How to remedy back pain with sit-ups and crunches?
I started exercising and have been doing sit-ups and crunches, but I get a nice amount of pain in my lower back. Is this temporary or permanent? Are there exercises I can do (without equipment) to improve my lower back muscles and make this pain go away?

Best way to strengthen your back muscles is to SWIM. I think I recall Cindy Crawford’s video had some good back excercises too.
