Hey all

I've set a goal to myself to try to get myself living a healthier lifestyle by the time the end of summer rolls around, and so far, I've found some fairly effective methods for losing fat (cardio and diet), arm muscles, and leg muscles.

However, I'm at a loss for my pecs and abs. I've tried situps and pushups, but they just aren't working very well. I don't really feel any of the usual "muscle is working" feeling with situps until I finish over 100 situps or so, so either my technique is suffering or situps just don't do it for me.

With pushups, I only feel the pain in my arms - not in my pecs - no matter the distance I place my arms apart. My pecs aren't at the level where they're "manbreasts", but I would like a little more definition in that area

Any suggestions as to some excellent exercises I could do for these areas? I'm looking for stuff that doesn't necessarily involve any equipment (except perhaps weights) if possible. Thanks for any help
