Can anyone recommend any workouts I can do to tighten up my lower ab region? i'd prefer something i could do with free weights, or just no weights at all

okay, here goes.
bend over toe-touch-
1. stand with you legs wider than shoulder width apart. put your left hand on you rhip, and touch your right hand to you left toe.
2. stand up and extend you right arm as you twist your upper body to the right. Do the same move on the other side. Ten toe touches on each side equals one set. do three sets
twisting up-
1. sit with your legs wider than shoulder width apart and arms out to the sides at shoulder level. keep you upperbody straight.
2. gently twist to the right as far as you fan, bending y our arms to bring your chest to the floor. push yourself back up to the first position. do the same movie on your elft side. ten twists on each side equals one set. do three sets.
leg lift sit up-
1. lie on your back wit h you right leg straight out on the floor and your left knee bent. keep your arms at your sides.
2. sit up as you lift your right legs straight up until it's parallel to your bend left leg; hold on to it for two seconds, then slowly lower yourself back to the first position. do the same move with your left leg. ten sit-ups on each side equals one set. do three sets.
crossover sit up-
1. lie on your back with arms at your sides. bend your right leg, keeping your right foor flat on the ground.
2. sit up, keeping your right foor planted as you lift your chest toward your knee (use right arm for balance) then reach your left arm across your right thigh. switch legs and do the same move on the other side. ten sit ups on each side equals one set. do three sets.
v sit up-
1. lie down with legs in the air in a v-position, knees slightly bent. bend your arms, resting elbows on the floor.
2. sit up and try to touch the ground in between teh v, then return to the first position. ten sit-ups equals one set. do three sets
do this routine five times a week and you'll see results in ten days!
