The Reverse Crunch is a foundational exercise for the lower abdominals, but it is frequently performed with terrible mechanics. If you experience a clicking hip or lower back pain during this movement, you are likely relying on your hip flexors and momentum rather than actual abdominal tension.
To safely execute a reverse crunch, you have to stop thinking about moving your legs, and start thinking about rolling your pelvis.
Technical Tip:
If you find it impossible to keep your lower back flat on the floor as your legs lower, you can place your hands flat underneath your glutes/tailbone. This slight elevation tilts your pelvis back automatically, providing a safety net for your lower spine while you build up your core strength!
