Mostly superficial core stuff there. First one works the outer abdominals fairly well as long as you're really curling pubis to sternum. Second one isn't really a core exercise since it's mostly hip flexors, plus isometrics are so angle specific that training that way is a waste of time. None of these are really working your spine muscles, pelvic floor, or much of the side abdominals (read: 3 out of the 4 core components).
Lots of frou-frou "core exercises" are touted these days but few if any beat barbell squats if you're serious about training (4 out of 4, plus legs).
