Love handles are those bits of fat that exist on either side of the stomach near the natural waist line. Though exercise targeted to specific muscle groups actually does not cause fat to melt from those areas, persistent toning will create visible muscles that are useful and appealing. As cardiovascular exercise burns calories, it’s always a good idea to find a way to incorporate it into a workout.. However, toning is a great start on how to get rid of love handles.

A set of dumb bells will be needed for this exercise. The weight of the dumb bells should be comfortable: they should both pose a challenge and leave room for growth.

• Stand with a straight posture, eyes and toes forward. The feet should be shoulder width apart, and a weight should be in each hand and arms should be hanging close to your outer thighs.

• Tighten the stomach as much as possible while allowing for natural breathing. The stomach should remain tight while in movement.

• Bend from side to side from the waist and hold for 2-3 seconds.

• Continue the exercise for 25 repetitions on each side and do 2 sets to start.

• Loosen the stomach muscles after each rep and break for thirty seconds before restarting.

While doing this exercise, it’s necessary to keep both feet firmly on the ground and remember to breathe naturally. It is often recommened that you work up to a total of 100 reps per day for best results. If you currently have any back or other health issues you should consult with your health care provider before starting any exercise program including this one.
Although the term “Love Handles” may sound cute, holding hands may be a better option then having your partner hold your roll of fat.
