two other good exercises are some that i do almost daily :] here they are if you want to try :
1] Dead bug
-lay down on your back and face the ceiling.
-raise both legs and hands off of the ground and lift one of opposites (your left arm and leg. or your right arm and left leg etc. etc.)
-hold the position for thirty seconds (good for your core)
-after about six times switching arms and legs (NO ARM OR LEG SHOULD TOUCH THE GROUND but two should always point to the ceiling the other two parallel to the floor) make all arms and legs parallel to the floor and hold it for forty five seconds [it burns]
and thats your dead bug :]
2] Airplane
-harder to explain but here we go ill try.
-lay down on your stomach but put your arms under your chest
-lift your body off of the ground letting the only two parts of your body touching the ground be your toes and your forearm (as if your hands we clasped together)
-hold for thirty seconds or so
-next switch to only having one arm on the floor facing a wall
-lift your body so that only the side of your foot and forearm are touching the floor
-again hold for thirty seconds
-do the same but on the opposite arm/side
-last but not least lay flat on your stomach
-give yourself a breather and when ready lift both arms and both legs one or two inches off of the ground, letting only your chest and stomach touch the ground
-hold this until you just cant hold it anymore
youll get used to these eventually and it wont burn as much, so when that happens just add more time to it
