Andy McDermott is one of my favorite personal trainers to follow on YouTube. He has 170+ videos of different workouts and exercises, and many of them with little to no equipment. If you are having a hard time finding variety in your core workout you certainly will not after watching this video, where he demonstrates 79 different exercises to work your core.
Most of them can be done without having to go to the gym, and there is a ton of moves in here for both the beginner and the more advanced core athlete. #78 and #79 are particularly impressive in terms of advanced moves.
