If (more...) you would like to know about body fat and love handles please visit the previous link.
If the love handle comment caught your eye, you should know that one of the biggest fitness myths is there is no such thing as spot reduction.
Even though you feel the core muscles in your love handles area working, this will not burn off the fat.
Perform this exercise with strict form which is something you can't see. Your glutes must be statically contracted and your core must be drawn in for this exercise to be effective.
It is also important to have a good stability ball. From my experience I have found the Duraball Pro is by far the best, most durable and trustworthy stability ball which can easily support enough weight of your body and a 300 lb. bench press as well make core exercises more efficient.

BOSU plank is around the same difficulty as the floor plank. There are many progressions which can increase the difficulty.
The key is proper form. The stomach must be drawn with contracted glutes. If the neutral alignment of the spine cannot be maintained, you should regress to learning how to control your body properly

The standard BOSU crunch is a great progression from crunches on the floor. This is due to the increased range of motion because of the round surface of the ball.
To increase the difficulty place your lower back towards the top of the BOSU which will form a long lever crunch.
The Lowest level of this abdominals exercise would be with your butt touching the floor and hands across the chest.
Always keep your core drawn in during your abdominal crunches to increase their effectiveness.
As with all core and abs exercises, stop if you experience lower back pain.

The wood chop exercise with a medicine ball is all about the drawn in core.
If you don't feel this one in your core you do not know how to draw in your core and you should start fresh from the very basic draw in maneuvers.
Stand as tall as you can with your stomach drawn in and try to keep your core completely steady as you chop the ball from your shoulder across your body to your opposite hip.
Another way to perform this core exercise is to keep your hips completely steady and flex your stomach slightly forward and rotate.
To increase the difficulty you may want to stand on a controlled unstable surface such as a wobbly board or BOSU ball.
You can get a great medicine ball workout with just your body weight and a couple medicine balls.
These will work stabilization as well as strength.
Remember the medicine ball wood chop or any core/abdominal exercise will not burn fat off your mid section or give you six pack abs. You must perform a mixture of high intensity cardio and weight training.

There (more...) are no secrets to anything related to health, fitness and bodybuilding....
Only science.
The dual foam roll push-ups are a great way to get a little extra range of motion on your push-up while you work on shoulder stability slightly.
If you have the foam rolls out wide you will work your chest more.
If the foam rolls are closer and your elbows are in towards your sides you will focus on triceps more.
If you know your triceps are weaker than your chest perform triceps before chest and vice versa.

The (more...) advanced bicycle is a great exercise to work your abdominals. The bicycle maneuver allows you to totally isolate your abdominals.
This advanced set of the bicycle requires you to lift your upper back and shoulders completely off of the floor.
Kick one leg all the way out and bring one knee back to your opposite elbow which you have twisted from the opposite side.
Do around 20 reps and then hold for 5-10 seconds with your elbow touching your knee. This should burn your abdominals.
After your 5-10 second hold, perform another 20 reps of the bicycle and repeat.
This is a great abdominals exercise because your hip flexors is taken out of the motion.
You can also perform this with your back touching the floor, just make sure your shoulders are off of the floor.
Remember you will not burn fat off your mid section by any crunch or situp exercise.

The stability ball toe raise should be more accurately described as the hip raise, as the raising of your hips is the abdominal contraction.
It is best to use one of the smaller stability balls for this exercise.
Make sure your knees and toes are aligned and your not in a knocked-kneed possition.
For the advanced, eliminate the forward motion of the legs, keeping your feet straight up in the air for the duration of the movement.
Lower yourself as slow as possible if you like burning abs.
