I hate training my core. It's boring and I'd much rather be out with one of the best running watches or lifting heavy with the best adjustable dumbbells. But, when it comes to exercise, a strong core is one of the best things you can develop for your overall health. Strong abdominals leads to better posture, heavier lifting and a faster lap time.
In fact, research has shown a healthy core can alleviate chronic lower back pain and help protect athletes from developing such problems in the first place.
