I don't think he's saying you can spot reduce. You want a smaller tighter waist line you're going to want tight abdominals. You get a strong tight mid section by training it. That combined with burpees and box jumps seems like a pretty good combination.
Diet is most definitely the most important factor. As far as doing any exercises with anything over body weight, think about it, do you really want to ad tissue --or are you looking for that tapered "V" look. My self, I do twists, side bends, crunches and lying leg raises where you really are not touching the abs ubtil that but comes off the bench and you shorten the abs--I use very high reps and do this as my "warm up" to get blood flowing every other day. The abs are nice and tone, I get the desired "V" due to added tissue on chest shoulders, and back. In the summer (I live in New York, a four season area) My increased calorie output due to an added hour or so of aggressively paced bicycling my body fat gets to the single digits and by August the vein is pronounced on my lower abs telling me that "life is good". Those that believe in weighted ab exercises--it is your choice to make--I have got to mention that I am fifty one yrs old and if you saw my August "pack" you would not believe I was not a lean and mean twenty something year old. Thank you for listening.
