any exercise that will increase the strength of your core, such as sit ups, crunches, or swiss ball sit ups. -blurey

you can do various stomach exercises with a weighted medicine ball... they come in various pounds to choose from....scroll down to the middle/bottom of the web site listed..gives you animated examples of exercises....

This site is highly recommended - the free E-book they offer is a great kickstart when you're trying to lose weight.
