Tonight is the first time I'll have done situps in a long time and I was wondering what some of you guys recommend for working the lower stomach area and the sides. (got to get rid of the love handles)

Any suggestions?

You won't get rid of love handles by working out your abs and obliques.

True. abs are reveiled in the kitchen and through cardio, not in the gym or with sit-ups.

Here's a list of great ab exercises with animated pics:

But remember, strong abs are for stability in other lifting routines. Good looking abs are only created by getting rid of all the flab covering them... and sadly, there is no such thing as spot reduction of fat.
