Sorry, but...: Once you've ruled out abdominal wall hernia, the only way to effectively spot-reduce unwanted abdominal tissue is to surgically remove it. The "pear" body type preferentially stores fat around hips; "apples" store it around their waist. Lose 1 pound of fat for every 3500 calories you drop or exercise off, but you can't pick where--sorry. Abdominal exercise will improve tone of existing muscles.
