How to Lose Love Handles

The best way to lose those love handles is to go on a diet that will shed pounds from your entire body. By diet, we mean a permanent eating regimen that stresses healthy foods – and not an overabundance of them. There are plenty of diet books out there that will tell you how to balance your intake of protein, complex carbohydrates, fat, and fiber.

Any fat-burning aerobic workout is what you need, though you may also want to tone and firm that area where the handles are attached while you’re losing fat. Exercising the abs is good for that, but the best exercises for it are side bends and torso twists.

Exercises for Love Handles

Side Bends:
Stand straight with your knees slightly bent and your feet apart, then slowly lower the trunk a few inches to the left side then back up, and do the same thing again to the right side. Repeat until you’re sick and tired of doing them. Don’t bend forward or backward while you’re doing these as it would be bad for the spine.

Torso Twists:
While standing firmly with your feet a shoulder’s width apart, twist your torso slowly to the left side then to the right while at the same time keeping your hips straight and even. Again, there should be no bending. Don’t overdo it; twisting too far makes it easy to pull a muscle.

hope this helped =)

Since there are no muscles in your "love handles" there are no exercises that specifically target that area. Doing side crunches and leg raised will train the oblique muscles in your abdominal area, which may help a little but the most effective cure for your dilemma is proper diet. If you can manage to eat 6 small low fat meals a day, you'll convince your body to release the extra fat that it is storing around your waist.

When I performed soccer I desired to do away with my love handles. I might grasp a forty pound weight in a single hand and lean to a aspect. (Ex: If i had the burden in my correct hand i might lean to the correct then deliver your self again to an upright role and repeat 10 occasions; then transfer to the left hand and lean to the left.) Do three reps of ten every aspect. After that perform a little crunches, I might attempt to do atleast 50. Then do atleast 15 to twenty mins of aerobic an afternoon. It sounds severe, however it works I promise. I misplaced my love handles and 30 kilos. Just don't forget the extra it burns the higher you're doing. (Weight measurement and rep counts will also be converted if wanted)
