My b/f is trying to start working out a little more and he is looking really good, he is cutting back on the junk food, drinks lots of juice and water and does crunches and push ups, but thats about it for the working out. Is there anything he can do to define his pecks with out necissarily using any weights...and above his bottum, kind of on the back of his hips its a bit soft and his legs are perfectly defined but the muscle is soft what can he do for this???

For his legs: Use a set of steps. Put right foot on steps so that knew makes 90 degree angle. Then raise left heel and lower until it starts to burn. Switch sides.
To increase the effectiveness, put left foot on edge of book. When lowering the heelo, lower it past the edge of the book.

Pushups are great and if he has access to a chin up bar, chin ups are great. As for the lower back part, that will tighten up and he'll lose fat there the more muscle he builds the muscle will begin to burn these fat stores. It takes time for muscles to tone and get definition, so what he's doing is great. Just keep encouraging him so he doesn't stop.

Dips are great for building the lower pectoralis muscles. Have him try doing squats and 40 yard sprints for his legs and for his butt. Definition and vascularity comes has body fat is reduced. The only way to be defined is to reduce the fat. Period.

Step-ups for the legs
Pushups for the pecs
Lunges for the lower back
