Like Q said, there is no way to spot reduce,, however, there is nothing wrong with working the muscles in those areas, either..

you may consider doing pushups and situps,, even if you only start with a couple, and do them 3x's per week, it's better than nothing.. When I was trying to up my reps for PRT,, I would do 10 pushups and 20 situps, 3x's per day.. and after a week,, I would double it.. and keep it at 3x's per day.. by the time PRT came around, I was able to do 85 situps and 60 pushups, at one time without a problem..

on the other hand,, you may vary your cardio.. swimming works your entire body.. and different strokes concentrate more on chest and shoulders.. when I'm swimming, I make sure to do 100 meters of all legs,, 100 meters of all arms,, and then 3-500 meters of crawl.. ofcourse, this will vary depending on energy, as you may do side stroke or back stroke, in between crawl laps,, in order to get your wind back,, but I won't stop until I reach atleast 300 meters.. *there are kick boards and leg bouys that help the concentration on legs and arms**

I think just cardio works to get rid of overall weight, there is no spot reduction things i know of, your jogging should work wonders!

Cardio is awsome of course for burning calories as Q suggested...

As far as the chest goes... bench presses, and fly's rule the day. As the muscle tissue builds behind the fat... it will help to lift the saggy boob look... that we both know doesn't look all that attractive on guys. If you lucky, in time you can make them bounce by flexing them... (it's amusing if anything else ).

I haven't read alot of books on weight lifting yet, but from what I have read.. Most experts think most people way over work thier abs for nothing. Most exercises make you flex your abs, and from what I understand doing ab specific exercises aren't going to do a whole lot for anybody once they reached even a slightly moderate level of ab fitness. Now don't get me wrong, once a week it's a good idea to throw in some ab crunches... but that is all that is required. They get a decent work out most of the time with everything else your doing. I am still a bit to big to even to one Ab crunch... but I know I have come along way i can get myself off the bench easy enough.

Good luck dude.
