Well, i'm having the same problem as you at the moment, but here's an exercise schedule.

1. Jog for 30 mins (jogging in place doesnt count!)
2.Stretch, touch your toes, do the flamingo, anything that stretches out leg muscles.
3. Work hard. just because you arent working on your legs doesnt mean its not working at all! Do countdowns (jog, 10 push ups, 10 sit ups, jumping jacks, jog, 9 pushups, 9 situps etc.)
4. After, walk for 5 minutes.

i hope it helps!

You CANNOT spot reduce or work a particular area and burn fat directly from the area you are working. Its impossible. Your body decides all on its own which area it will burn fat from first. Jogging is of course great for overall cardio vascular health but it burns very few calories for the amount of work you are doing. The best excersise for losing weight is weightlifting. 1 hour of weight training burns more calories than 1 hour of cardio (running, jogging etc) and the additional muscle that you gain will create a greater need for calories in your body which means that your body will burn more calories (specifically fat) when you are not working out. And....... if you are a woman you will NOT gain bulky muscles like a guy that is a myth passed from one person out of the know to another.

Hope this helps.

Jogging, walking, squats...they usually work. And oh, try some yoga positions such as the boat pose.
