Core Workout (From the Top Down)

A strong core is valuable thing in today's society. Just as it was a thousand years ago. So why make it strong? It keeps you out of back injuries and being able to pick yourself up easily, full body control since your core is the main support of your body other than your back. Now lets make it stronger!
I've got some simple core conditioning exercises for on the ground and on the pull up bar. Surprisingly, I'm going to leave crunches out of this because they are entirely useless in my opinion.
   So to begin with, I have beginner, intermediate, and very advanced. Shall we begin?

Beginner:

1. 3 sets of 5 Hanging leg raises. Bring knees up as far as possible to chest.
2. V sit hold for 20 seconds.

Intermediate:

1. 2 sets of 10 extended leg raises. Do not bring knees up, keep legs straight and extend to a hanging L position.
2. 2 sets of 10 hanging leg raises. Knees to chest.
3. 15 Ground leg raises.

Advanced:

1. 2 sets of 10 Toe to bar leg raises.
2. 10 Pull up position leg raises.
3. 5 Window wipers.
4. 15 Swinging window wipers.
5. 30 Ground leg raises.

Very Advanced:

1. 2 sets of 25 Toe to bar leg raises.
2. 20 Pull up position leg raises.
3. 2 sets of 20 Window wipers.
4. 25 Swinging window wipers
5. 15 L sit leg raises.
