Cardio Mix: You cannot target specific areas for weight loss - if you have adipose tissue to lose (not everyone does), then consider an increase in cardio & a balanced diet. However, do not always do the same exercise or you will increase your risks for stress injuries. Mix things up with walking, running, biking, swimming, or circuit training. Ultimately you need to burn more than you consume.

xercise ball crunches, pelvic thrusts, lying leg raises, side bridge & the “bicycling” exercise on your back. Insure that you are engaging in regular aerobic exercise. 45 minutes a day would be a good goal to shoot for. Go from Flab Ab's to Fab Ab's. (:

Any you like!: Any activity that you will stick with that raises your pulse. Usually a combination of aerobic cardiovascular exercise and some resistance. The thing is to start slow and keep going over the weeks and, months.
