This is exactly the issue with what people think about running/walking and how people execute their motion. You can make any exercise a core strength exercise. I run and walk from my çore, I perform all motion from my core. This is a feeling and skill you learn from taijiquan and it is applicable to any type of exercise.
You also need to do some kind of strength training. A push, a pull, a spinal compression and a spinal tension. Eg pushups, rows, squats, pullups.
Otherwise your core will be weak and you will be missing key stabilizing muscles that prevent injury when you are in an unusual position, like picking up a suitcase or changing a tire. Which is exactly what causes back pain.
