Now a days, you hear a lot of information regarding, "Core Strength", but do you know what the importance is? The core includes your abs ( upper, obliques, & lower ), hips, middle and lower back. Think of your core as the foundation to your house. If you build your house on a weak foundation eventually, your house will have structural problems and fall apart. That is the same thing with your core. If you start lifting weights without a strong core, you are making yourself vulnerable to injury. No body wants that!
With my clients, I always begin their training with, "unstable environments". This means executing their exercises on stability balls, Bosu Balls, & balance discs. It does not matter how advanced you are in training, if you do not do core strengthening exercises, more than likely you have a very weak core.
Learn to incorporate exercises that include core strengthening with your workouts. This can easily be done by doing your exercises on a stability ball or other core strengthening equipment.

Not only does core strengthening exercises make your core foundation solid and prevents injury, it also cuts down your waist size. In order to get a small waist, you have to workout the entire core area. Here are some examples you can include in your abdominal workouts.
