Quotes to ponder:

"A braced core is required for the duration of the exercise."

"If you hate doing it, you won’t do it, so choose whatever cardio you know you will actually complete!"

"A weak core will cause you to open your kinetic chain and allow your spine to roll forward - a recipe for injury."
