Can you do one push up? Do one push up a couple times a day. Then try for two. Then build up. It's a lot easier than trying to do a bunch all at once.

I feel as though my form is wrong, though. Hmmm.
seconding jiro's pushup idea.
on weekends, i usually just hammer out twenty-five pushups every two hours or so. during weekdays, I regularly kill myself with <a href=http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/features/the-300-workout-can-you-handle-it>this</a>. floor wipers are pretty awful and by the end of it i can't do my second set of pullups. i know i'll get there eventually though.
I lost six pounds in a week by eating food that gave me horrible diarrhea. True story.
I do CrossFit twice a week and run once a week. On the weekends I'll do prison exercises to keep from getting lazy.
If pushups are difficult, I would try doing a dumbbell bench press with light weights. Then perhaps some bent over rows with dumbbells as well. Then you can do biceps curls and tricep extensions after. The best way to build up strength and muscle in your arms is by doing compound chest and back movements for the most part. I would never just focus on your biceps and triceps.
I don't mean to advertise my own stuff, but I made a blog yesterday exactly all about exercise and and two techniques related to it.
Hmmmm, you could do waist twists, when you swivel from side to side, and then from diagonally down - left to the other side of the diagonal. Maybe, I'm not fitness instructor.
Just some bad news unfortunately: you can't really target fat loss. All you can do is continue trying to lose weight and what comes off comes off. Strengthening the muscles can help tone things up down there, but no amount of focusing exercise on that area will make the fat from that area leave before anywhere else on your body. If you're keeping the carbs low and getting plenty of exercise (including some high intensity stuff when possible) then just give it time. Unless you're stalled in your fat/weight loss, there's probably no reason to tweak things too much yet.
I'll ignore my general dislike for isolation exercises compared to compound movements with regard to some of those and simply state that their demonstration of that "traveling power squat" had some of the worst form I've seen in a while. It was quite hilarious, but I wouldn't recommend doing the move that way. In fact, I don't think I'd recommend doing it at all until someone has learned to squat properly first.
ITT NCG and Vivi22 trout on everybody's hopes and dreams in the nicest possible way.
Only because I love you guys.
