The easiest way to flatten your stomach, without a machine, would be sit ups. They’re simple, straight forward, and work. And that seems to be what you’re looking for.
Just set a goal amount, like 20, 50, or 100 a day. You can do it while watching TV.
For thigh exercises, I’d go with lunges, squats, or anything where you’re pushing your self with your legs. Just stretch until you feel the burn, release, breath, and repeat.
It’s not a fast process. It takes a lot of time, but it does work. If you want quicker results, do it more often per day. Just don’t burn out.

You can achieve quite a lot in a short amount of time. I’ve gone from really overweight to being slim with muscles and a flat stomach in 3 months. You aren’t overweight so it will take even less time!
Here is some info and exercises for abs:
One of the best things you can do is concentrate on holding your stomach firm, pull your belly button to your spine - and do that whenever you can! When you’re sitting, walking, driving. It really works!
There are some good exercises on this page with animations if you click on each one. The reverse crunch is fantastic for abs, also looks at the lunges and squats which are fantastic for your butt and thighs. Push ups will help your upper body and they do help the abs too - keep your tummy pulled in. My personal trainer has me do squats with a resistance band, I’ll put in a link for those too (you can buy the band cheaply and store it anywhere, it’s just a piece of elastic):
Running, walking, cycling and swimming will all help. Try to do about 30 minutes of cardio 4 or 5 times a week. Walking up hills will help give you some muscle! Do the toning / resistance work 2-3 times a week. You don’t need to do it every day. Make each movement slow, concentrated, deliberate. Contract the muscle you are working and feel it doing its job.
Have fun with it, it’s wonderful to start seeing results! And don’t forget to stretch too to keep those muscles long and lean.

To get six pack abs without crunches or sit-ups, first thing is get rid of the outdated exercise manuals and switch over to a new and better method of effectively and safely getting the solid hard 6-pack abs you have always wanted.
Most traditional trainers insist you do innumerable sit-ups and crunches everyday to get that elusive rock solid 6-pack abs.
To get the best results for your abs, use a combination of 3 factors in your abs workout schedule.
