Answer
Jessica,
I cannot give you specific exercises to lose weight in areas.  The body does not work this way.  I would suggest that you either jog (a good way to burn calories), bike (another great one), or aerobics (an easy way to burn some).  They point is to jog or bike for 15-20 minutes.  You may have to work your way up.  You want to jog or bike at a pace that is pretty quick (not a sprint).  Aerobics should make you break a sweat and get out of breath (just like jogging or biking).  Aerobics should be no less than 30 minutes.
If you need more help feel free to follow up.
Ryan
