I'd like to say (for the 101st time), spot reduction is 99.9% a myth. In principle working those areas increases blood flow and hence fat cell mobility, but the difference that makes is so small you'd need a microscope to measure it.
Srsly, when I was like 15 I used to do like 500-800 crunches a day to get rid of my gut - didn't do shit except develop abs, but they were still covered by a layer of flab.
Moar recently, started dieting properly and hitting the treadmill, fat gone.
Best thing to do is reduce your caloric intake just a little (200 cals a day) but hit the cardio hard (I like the treadmill as it shows lots of stats like calories burned)... 30 mins running at about 6.5mph will burn 400 or so cals.
It takes 3500 cals burned to lose a pound of fat, so with the above in mind you'll lose a pound a week easily if you exercise daily (though its best to mix up with weights so you don't lose muscle).
