Central to my philosophy is that you cannot make improvement without knowing what you are trying to improve.
Alongside this is the importance of testing and retesting. Only this way can you check that whatever you are doing is actually having a beneficial effect.
It can also be one of the most powerful ways to motivate yourself.
With this in mind here is an excellent video from Squat University (one of my go to sources for reliable trustworthy strength and conditioning advice)

It provides a simple, low impact way to check your stability in the only way that matters, putting it to the test when moving.
It is 1000% better than a meaningless static trial e.g. how many minutes you can hold a plank.
As a bonus here is another video showing 3 quick simple daily exercises, which again are much much better than planks or simple sit ups.
