I think that while i remain in my 20's i would like to take a shot at a six pack. But, I have yet to find a good regimen for a core workout at home. I know I could do a million crunches every day, but i need some other ones. Planks seem to kill my lower back so they are a no go.

Suggestions?

    the p90x core and ab routines are killer. I love the core workout.

    you can only get a 6 pack by burning the fat covering your ab muscles. That is done in the kitchen. crunches will get you no closer to a 6 pack then will a bunch of sit-ups. until you burn the fat, you're better off doing compound muscle exercises because they burn more calories. plus, exercises like squats, deadlifts, burpees, etc., engage your core and help strengthen it without the need for ab-isolated exercises. I mean, sure, do some planks if you want. but, really, you have to burn the fat before you can get a 6 pack.

    yeah, i'm working on the diet part and lowering my body fat %. I have been building a cardio intense program to shred of the extra weight and am also about to join up to a new gym to get the lifting covered. But, until then it's home calisthenics and cardio.
