I run a fair bit now..........but need to really strenthen my core(as i'm fairly wobbly in this area!!) I would like to know the best excercise for core strength that works for you.
I'm also doing my 2nd Half Marathon @ GNR this year..........and any top tips would be appreciated to get round in one piece.

I'm fairly new to exercise and have very little core strength...actually none!! I found the exercise ball works really well for me and it's kind on my back. I use the Fitball Workout book by Jan Endacott. Really clear photos and very challenging positions. My gym trainer was so impressed with it she has bought one to use in her classes :)
