Without knowing where you are starting, I'm just going to give a more generic advice. Train all of your core, not just your abs. Train extension/flexion and resistance to each. Train rotation and anti-rotation. planks, side planks, L-sit (and progressions) superman, hollow body (and progressions), wood chops, knee raises(done properly), levers (and all progressions)
Unilaterally weighted carries of various kinds.0 -
Piliaties is good too1

A good, full-body strength training program works the core well, so that's generally what i'd recommend, as opposed to piecing together your own routine. What is your goal or reason for wanting core exercises?4

Doing compound lifts tends to hit your core (mostly squats and deadlifts). Planks are pretty good too.
As far as iso ab stuff, I tend to do cable crunches or hanging leg lifts.1 -
I do 20 mins of abs 3-4 times a week and I definitely feel an improvement and some days I think I even see one too haha. I do 5 minutes of planks (45 seconds on, 15 off), I use a contraption at my gym that has you sit low on a seat and lift/throw a weighted ball at a target, hanging leg lifts, bicycles, reverse crunch, regular crunch and sometimes russian twists. Do a couple sets of 10-15 of each.0
