All Core

Todays core crushing workout was and has been a favorite of mine for some time now. So far, this is the one core exercise that I can really feel hitting all parts of my core.

This can be done your arms bent at 90 degrees or with bar straps to decrease the difficulty.

 
 
This is essentially just leg lifts, but instead of lifting your legs directly out in front of you, lift and twist them to a point off to one side activating your oblique's. Keep your shoulders square (as seen in picture), this is a core workout not an upper body workout.
 
A lot of people have trouble keeping their legs straight due to a lack in flexibly strength. Don't cheat the workout, just lift your legs as high as you can.
 
An alternative for anyone that needs to easy up this exercise a little is start with bend knees. Lift your knees up to 90 degrees and try to straighten them out and touch a point on the right and left sides.
