Gluts connect to the hamstring.  Lunges are definitely the best all-around excerise for this!!!!! Walking lunges or you can do hamstring curls on a machine.\n\nGood luck!  I've been working on it my entire adult life...tough for women to maintain and the "sore" affects you everytime you walk for DAYS.

The 3 Most Effective Stomach Exercises \n1: Bicycle Maneuver \n\nGetting Into Position \n\nLie flat on your mat, with your lower back pressed to the mat. \n\nYour head is resting on your hands with elbows bent and out to the sides. \n\nRaise your head, neck and shoulders as you pull your knees up towards your chest. \n\nThe Exercise \n\nSlowly go through a bicycle pedaling motion by pushing your left leg out while at the same time twisting your torso to bring your left elbow to touch your right knee. \n\nReturn slowly to the starting position by pulling both knees into your chest. \n\nWithout stopping, push out your right leg while at the same time twist your torso to bring your right elbow to touch your left knee. \n\nKeep even relaxed breathing throughout. \n\nRepeat this continuous motion by alternating 5 times on each sides. As you get stronger, alternating 10 times on each side. \n\n2: Captain's Chair \n\nThis exercise requires a piece of stomach workout equipment, the Captain's Chair, which looks like a tall chair without a seat. \n\nGetting Into Position \n\nStabilize your upper body by gripping the handholds and lightly pressing your lower back against the back pad. \n\nThe starting position begins with you holding your body up and legs dangling below. \n\nThe Exercise \n\nNow slowly lift your knees in toward your chest. The motion should be controlled and deliberate as you bring the knees up and return them back to the starting position. \n\nDo 12 repetitions. \n\n3: Crunch on Exercise Ball \n\nGetting Into Position \n\nSit on an exercise ball with your feet flat on the floor. Let the ball roll back slowly. \n\nNow lie back on the ball until your thighs and torso are parallel with the floor. \n\nPlace hands behind your head (or cross your arms over your chest) and slightly tuck your chin in toward your chest. \n\nThe Exercise \n\nContract your stomach, raising your torso to no more than 45 degrees. For better balance, spread your feet wider apart. \n\nTo challenge the obliques, make the exercise less stable by moving your feet closer together. \n\nExhale as you contract; inhale as you return to the starting position. \n\nDo 12 repetitions. \n\nThe Cool Down \n\nDo a lower intensity version of the marching in place warm up exercise, for 3-5 minutes, to cool down your body and get your heart rate return to normal level. \n\n\n\nThe Stomach Stretch \nStomach Stretch 1 \n\nStand tall with with your feet hip-width apart. \n\nLift your arms straight up towards the ceiling, your palms facing forward. \n\nWith slow, controlled movements, bring your arms down to your sides. \n\nYour palms should end up facing inward. At the same time, round your back, bring your chin towards your chest and contract your stomach muscles. \n\nHold for 20 seconds. \n\nReturn slowly to the starting position. \n\nDo 10 times. \n\nStomach Stretch 2 \n\nStand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Unlock your knees and roll back your shoulders. \n\nRaise your arms out to the sides, to shoulder level and parallel to the floor. \n\nTwist your torso as far as you can to your left. \n\nTry to twist only from your waist and keep your lower body stable. \n\nTwist back as far as you can to your right. \n\nContinue twisting left and right until you've done 30 to 50 times. \n\n\nStomach Exercises And Healthy Weight Loss Diets \nExercise alone will not get you a flat stomach; it'll merely give you stronger stomach muscles. \n\nThe key to having a flatter stomach is a combination of these 3 things: \n\n\n\nEat a healthy-weight-loss diet; \n\nInclude cardio exercise in your exercise program; \n\nPlus doing extra of the 3 above proven effective stomach exercises \n\nThen you'll be on your way to having a stronger and flatter stomach!!!!

At 130, unless you are really really short, you don't really need to diet.  Just do some light weight lifting to tone your arm and leg muscles.  If you can't afford or otherwise don't have access to a gym, just buy some hand/leg weights at walmart ($20 or less probably). Pilates works well too, you can just get a video and make sure to do exactly what it says (most of the ones I have are by Denise Austin).  Carmen Electra has created some seduction exercise dvds, that are based on exotic dancing (my sister said they are good for exercise and ideas) you'll have to search for it online. Also, there are belly dancing exercise videos, i have one and it's a lot more fun than some other workouts plus it directly targets those trouble spots.  You may want to add how much time you have till the cruise to your question.  If it's within a month you're going to have to work out a lot harder than if it is 3 or 4 months away.  If you are capable, running is one of the best ways to tighten your abs, and it's not nearly as anoying as situps.

Exercise more and cut down on excess food- try eating a balanced diet of protein, fat and carbs. Pilates and sit ups are excellent tummy reducers and low impact cardio is good too. Jogging at a low impact, swimming, etc... When your heart rate is low is when you are burning fat..

Bellydance! You can get some good videos off amazon.com. There is a set by a set of twins, they are very good. Good exercise, fun, tone your abs, and learn some sexy moves at the same time! I would also recommend Carmen Electra's Strip to Fit (also on amazon.com) as a fun way to lose weight and learn sexy moves.

Cardio, like cycling and jogging is good, but to tone your thighs up, try doing squats. Pilates is great tlo do at home and targets thighs bums and your stomach. You could also try yoga.

I'd say abdominal exercises but not sit-ups, as they might be harmful for ur lower back (depends on how fit u r overall, though). \n\nTry crunches and do them every day: \n\nhttp://www.fitstep.com/Library/Exercises/Crunches.htm\n\nHere's a fairly good website w photos and explanations:\n\nhttp://www.sixpacknow.com/abdominal_exercises.html \n\nAlso depending on how much of this abdominal fat is on the outside (because abdominal fat can be both inside the abdominal cavity, below the muscles, and outside, below the skin layer), u can get massage and some anti-cellulite cream to help this outer layer of fat go away.

This is quoted from FitGuy\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/my/profile;_ylt=A9G_fwGGMSVEJAkA6j8ezKIX?show=AA10240897\n\n“stay away from any ab machine as they are simply a waste of money and barely effective. For the upper abs, focus on crunches which effectively work the abdominals better than sit-ups… For the lower abs, keep in mind there is very little muscle tissue there so decreasing levels of body fat is the most effective way to bring out the best in this area. Hanging leg raises, v-situps and reverse curls are among some of the best exercise for this region. Always make sure your pelvis curls up to maximize lower abdominal contraction during these exercises… and getting ripped goes, cardio, cardio, cardio. In the morning, on an empty stomach at about 70-80% of your maximum heart rate for about 30-45 minutes. This combined with a common sense diet will quickly shed body fat so you can actually see those abs you've developed.”\n \nFor home routine I recommend this: Jack-knife, Ball Crunch, Lying Leg-Hip Raise, Aerobics (you can buy one of the steppers with a handle and panel)

Try pilates type exercises...my daughter had a baby 3 months ago and is slowly getting back into shape using the pilates system...but realize that it takes time as well as exercise and diet changes to get the shape you want!  You need to consume less calories than what you burn as well as tone up the areas that have been stretched to their limits during the pregnancy!  Don't despair!  I have had 5 children...still have the love handles and earned every inch of them!

Do some excercises like crunches and all that stuf. It'll make your butt toned too.

Exercises: Crunches are very effective at toning the abdominal muscles. Do one set of 20 every morning before you get dressed: Lie on the floor with your knees bent. Lock your hands behind your head, and bring your elbows and knees together by flexing your abdominal muscles. Aim your elbows and chest toward the ceiling; lift shoulder blades 2 inches (5 cm) off floor. Avoid fully extending your legs, as this can place too much strain on your lower back.\n\nActivities: Great ab workouts include rowing, tennis and yoga. These activities work the entire set of abdominal muscles, promoting overall strength. (They're also much more fun than sit-ups and crunches.)
