Using PJ`s will develop core strength. However more specific exercises include

Crunches (mini sit ups)
Leg lifts
Hip raises
Back arches
Side lifts

Plus a number of other exercises

Most of these are avilable on the web under core stability exercises

For the most part Bock will build your core body strength up anyway.
Bocking is a good to get into and stay in shape build both muscles and burning fat off.

I had a quick look for so simple examples of exercises you could use ( scroll to bottom ).

DK beat me to it. I was going to suggest the prone bridge. :) That's the one that looks like press-up position but on your whole forearm.

Hold that position for 10 seconds. Then lift the left arm for 10. Put it down and lift the right arm for 10. Put it down and lift the left leg for 10. Then the right leg for 10. Then left arm, right leg. Right arm, left leg. Right arm, right leg. Left arm, left leg. And finish with 10 seconds in the normal position.

If thats too hard just hold each position for 5 seconds. If too easy, hold them for 20. It's a brilliant exercise for core strength. But if it's just looking skinny that you don't like. You're going to want to weights as well. Or at least push-ups, dips and chin-ups. And of course the crunchies mentioned by others. :)

Everyone's dreams sit aloft a rungless ladder. Some ladders are higher than others. Some are so tall they reach high above the clouds - but everyone can see their dream. Most people see that their ladder has no rungs and although they may talk about climbing it one day, seeing no way to get there, they eventually give up and settle for what lies beneath it.
      The brave however, the wise, the imaginative and the strong of will seek out their missing rungs. They learn all they can about the ladder, they surround themselves with friends and family who would also find the rungs, and failing all else they craft the steps themselves with their own two hands from nothing. Sometimes a rung breaks and the person falls. Some of these people will fall too hard and lose the strength to climb again - Yet they feel comfort in knowing they tried. They became better for it. And they experienced things and witnessed sights upon the climb that those who sat forever beneath it will never know.
      Then there are the special few who find new steps, or fix and climb again the ones that failed. Who eventually, through sheer tenacity and courage come to reach the final rung - Only they will have their dreams fulfilled. The extraordinary then build new ladders. These are the strongest people of all.

if your looking as brendan said to build muscle i would (again as brendan said) use your own weight as risistance rather than go for weights
keeps you nice and flexible rather than getting to the point where you cant scratch your own back

Haha - that's true. I remember at my old college, my friend and I knew when we'd had a good work out because couldn't touch our shoulders! ;D

...I miss having muscles. :( I lost most of my muscle mass after breaking both wrists. They never healed properly and I can't work out as much.

Have fun training Wally. :)

Please think happy thoughts and wish me luck. :) Thanks. :)
