'Core Training' is kind of a lame fitness buzzword. It conjurs up images of some new-fangled ball training or special new sit ups/crunches variant.

The most important thing to focus on is a strong back and legs. To do this you do squats (bar on your back, squat down and then stand up) and deadlifts (pick the bar off the floor with good smooth form). It doesn't have to be heavy weight just start light and build up. These 2 exercises work everything. You can supplement with the other stuff.

I'm not a personal trainer or a physical specimen by any means but I understand that this stuff is a lot simpler than most will tell you. Everyone looks for gimmicks when it's really simple.
