Articles on Core
The anterior core is trained primarily by sagittal plane movements such as sit ups of any variations, hanging movements such as knee raises, toes to bar, and so on. That said, it doesn't have to be, and shouldn't be boring. Mixing up what you do is the best way to keep your body guessing and get results.
