    One word: PiYo! I'm almost done the 60 day program and my core hasn't been in this condition ever! I highly recommend this program for anyone wanting to strengthen their core. Plus there is a nice mix of cardio and stretching too!

    This. Deadlifts, squats, cleans, snatches, overhead squats have made my core as strong as it's ever been.

    This, for sure. Nothing works like heavy lifting.

    Also, when I do sit-ups, I use a weighted ball.

    Yep. All of this. I'd add in heavy bench press and pull ups. The only added core work I do are hanging leg raises.

    Kettlebells are great for the core, but get a qualified instructor to show you the swing technique before you use them alone.
