    It won't be core workouts. Core workouts are nice for core strength, but with 30lbs to lose (per your profile) it will come from making sure you stay within a caloric deficit and waiting for your BF% to drop.

    Core workouts are pretty inefficient when it comes to caloric burn. Research some solid lifting programs along with guideline cardio programs to help with stamina if you're completely new.

    Deadlifts are a great core exercise

    Core workouts are to stabilize your core muscles so you have better balance and avoid injury when you are doing the other stuff.

    visit - www.bodybuilding.com - they have a great list of exercises that will help with your core. However abs are only 10 - 20% ab the exercise you do -- it is all in the diet.

    Workouts alone will not get you to see your abs. Your food choices will. You have to get rid of the body fat. You need to eat good healthy foods....protein, veggies and lower carbs(breads, pastas etc).

    Compound moves will make your core stronger (squats, deadlifts, overhead press, etc.). Core specific moves will also make your core stronger (leg raises, planks, situps, etc.) But you have to lose the body fat on top before they become visible. You can work your core until you're blue in the face, but you won't see much (if anything) until the excess weight is lost and your body fat % gets low enough.

    Seeing abs is a function of low body fat percentage. Sure you can build up your abs a bit to make them stick out, but you still wont see them unless your BF% is VERY low (For men you will start seeing them at ~12% but for a legit 6-pack you need to be below 10% or so).

    As for stamina, core work isn't going to do the trick. That is all cardio.

    Keep losing weight until you see abs. Don't worry about specific exercises to make it happen.

    I'm not a fan of floor exercises (I have a bad neck/back), so I really like turbo jam videos. There is an ab video that is half floor and half standing (some cardio in the mix too) and then the cardio party 1,2, and 3 really work the abs! The first one the most. Good way to burn cals while working the abs since we all know abs are formed in the kitchen as well :) gotta get rid of the fat.
