You use your abs more often than you think. In fact, there is almost no movement that does not involve these muscles. If this muscle system is not stable, the body will compensate. This puts additional strain on another part, such as the back. To prevent this, you can do abdominal exercises.

Lie on your back with your arms extended over your head and your hands together. Your upper arms rest next to your ears. Contract your abs and push your heels into the floor. Keep your arms where they are as you start with a basic crunch.
Roll up and lift your head and neck off the floor, another fist should fit between your chin and chest. Now roll over and also lift the shoulder blades off the floor. Keep your head still, look straight ahead. Only the shoulder blades come back to the floor. Exhale as you rise, pause at the highest point, and contract your abs more. Inhale as you return to the starting position.
