cardio exercise like brisk walking, aerobics, running or cycling combined with muscle conditioning gets the job done.
Say, after doing 20-30 minutes of cardio exercise like brisk walking or running(excluding the warm-up and cool down time) do weight training for your target areas like legs etc and crunches for your tummy. 10 mins per target area is good enough.
and ofcourse all this needs to be combined with healthy eating habits.

When you lose weight, you're going to lose it from all parts of your body at the same rate therefore, the parts of your body that naturally store less fat(hands, lower arms, face, etc) are going to show improvement before the parts of your body that tend to be a bit flabbier. Unfortunately your stomach and thighs happen to be in this category...
Losing weight is a very simple process, if you lose sight of that and start complicating it, you're not going to be as successfull: Effectively losing weight means burning more calories than you're ingesting, that is ALL there is to it. Figure out your resting heart rate and then how many calories a day you can burn doing absolutely nothing(chances are it's around 1500) If you want to raise the amount of calories you burn, do cardiovascular excercise every day. lots of people might tell you lifting weights and building muscle will increase the amount of calories you burn, but the honest truth is, for what you want to do your time would probably better be spent doing some cardio.
Swimming is a good excercise that burns calories and defines the muscles. Using an elliptical machine or a stairclimber is excellent cardio and is also great for the leg muscles.

Running or swimming 4 to 5 days per week combined with a healthy diet will have your tummy and legs in great shape within 3 to 5 months. Take care.

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

k, Go on a low carb diet and lift weights and do a work out video targeted for them spots. Also, go walking that will help you lose wieght in your legs but basically for your stomach use a lotion that has a toner and firmer in it like Jergens firming lotion and do crunchs or do alot of walking but really stick to the low carb diet it takes a while but really works wonders.

You should try walking or running for at least 30 mins a day and drinking a lot of water. Also eat a healthy diet with lots of fruits and veggies.

There is no way to spot-reduce fat on a specific area, but intense cardio work is the best way to burn carbs (to be doing anything, remember, you need to be in your target heart rate zone as you exercise)
