Surprisingly, the best core exercises are Squats and Deadlifts. That's because you need to really engage your core when lifting heavy. Since your legs are more than capable of lifting heavy weights (notice how you can lift more weight on a leg press vs squats or deadlifts), the core becomes the weak link that needs to be strengthened to progress.

I agree that squats, deadlift, military press are good core exercises. I always try to add planks, V-ups and leg raises to finish off my session

If you were to consider Pilates core exercises, they are far more effective as a routine for control--especially, if you have a lower back injury. All primary muscle exercises work the core.

 

I have been working out for 30 years with reasonable results. My roommate in college was a junior state champion bodybuilder (retired). He urged me not to waste time in the gym. Instead he said do only 5 exercises 3x / week!

• shoulder
• chest
• abs
• back
• legs

If you exercise your primary/major muscle groups properly, you will also exercise the secondary or tertiary muscles (the only reason to isolate secondary and tertiary muscles is for definition)--unless you are a professional body builder, you do NOT want this. It's not healthy.

 

10 - 12 reps per set (3 sets until you reach your fitness goal then drop to just one set)--the only reason to do more is if you want to look like a bodybuilder--to be healthy you do NOT want that at all--you want to be lean and tone. Oh, and it takes less than half an hour.

Switch up your exercises every 6 weeks (muscle memory)

Yes, you need cardio. Up to an hour a day until you meet your fitness goal. Then you can cut back to 30mins 3x a week if you are also active in other ways.

Ask a woman whether she like a guy with popping veins, or one with a swimmer's body.
