Planks. Not difficult to do, and work very well at strengthening your abdominal muscles. Many variations exist such as other posters have mentioned. Join us, set your own goal and be consistent. That's all it really takes.0 -
Hollow rocks are the only “planks “ worth doing if planking is something you are intent on doing. Otherwise, planking is dumb. Go Tabata on them.3

I was sort of surprised this wasn't mentioned sooner.
Also that list of planks- a lot of people assume plank = static/holding movement but a lot of those are done in movement- so knee to elbow and return- knee to elbow- return.
Not just- hold the knee to the elbow.2 -
And most importantly: Find exercises you like to do. If you don't like it, move on to another. And as people have pointed out, lots of exercises work the abdominal muscles.
I don't think I have seen it mentioned yet: Leg raises. Horizontal/Vertical, straight leg/bent leg.
Whatever you do, if you keep your core stable during exercises you work them already. When I do deadlifts I engage my core. When I do chest flies, overhead press, etc, I engage my core.2 -

These are fine, but more advanced versions. The OP said they were weak in the core area.1 -

Hanging leg raises, ab rollouts, squats, deadlifts, and standing over head presses are the staple of my routine.1
