No, you shouldn't be getting the back pain you are. Is it your form thats causing the problem? Ask a trainer in
your gym for advice, if you have one?
If not come back and describe how and what you are doing for your abs and the problem may become evident.

It is likely your form. Sits up are terrible IMO, too much hip flexor involvement, plus straisn the lower back. Crunches are far better IMO.
