Core training

    Hi folks, have just read interview in Irish Runner with Peter Mathews. I see that he, like me has suffered with lower back pain, and he strongly recommends 'core work'.
    I slipped a disk in 2002 and have only really got back to normal since 2005. I started running in Aug 2009 and love it (I would have played many sports and considered myself quite fit up to disk episode).
    My fitness levels are really improving with the running, as is my whole sense of self worth/quality of life etc.
    But in the back of my mind is the feeling that my back might go at some stage - an odd time after a run I feel slight pain.
    What I would love to know from anybody reading this if you could recommend any simple 'core work' exercises I could do at home that would complement my running.
    Thanks in advance.
