The specific excersizes you do are irrelevent as you cannot target fat loss. To burn fat you want to do some kind of aerobic workout (though actually it is worth doing a small amount of stength exersizes (press-ups, sit ups, or as close to them as you can manage should be fine, no need to break out the weights) first as this will raise your metabolism throughout the day) combined with limiting your energy intake. If energy out is greater than energy in you will burn fat. But as I say you can't target the fat loss, it will happen thoughout your body.
There are benefits to improving your muscle size and tone. - Don't worry unless you're eating a lot and injecting anabolic steroids you won't look end up looking like a body builder! (Female body builders have to work rediculously hard and take lots of steroids to achieve their looks.)
