Cardio to get rid of the excess.

And, my discovery has been bellydance to get stronger in those muscles. I've been dancing for a year, and a few weeks back, a friend took me to a "really hard" (her words) abs class. I kept up with her for a half an hour of crunches, reverse crunches, side crunches, you name it.

And, then, I guess there are good old fashioned ab exercises. But, diet and cardio as well, or you'll have great muscles underneath the old muffin top.
