Picture your love handles. It is only one small step to imagine why they are called this isn't it. So why then do we all want to lose our love handles? Particularly men! So you ask the question to yourself, "How Can I get Rid Of My Love Handles?". And you know the answer is straight forward but not necessarily easy. Your love handles sit over the area of your abdomen occupied by your oblique muscles. While there are many exercises that you can do to strengthen these muscles unfortunately these exercises on their own will do nothing to get rid of your love handles. The problem is the waist is a natural storage point for excess fat and our bodies will not burn off this fat as a first choice. Therefore to lose our love handles we need to accept that we need to lose overall body fat. In order to get to the bottom of the problem you need to change your eating patterns and exercise. On the exercise front it is of course important to exercise your abdominal muscles but more importantly you need to do cardio exercise. The exact type of cardio exercise you do is important. You need to incorporate resistance training into your exercise program. I hear you groaning but it is a fact you need to do resistance training. Good news is you do not need to do it to excess. You need to put together a training program that doesn't just exercise your main muscle groups but actually gets you short of wind at the same time. So find out how to work the main muscle groups, chest, shoulders, back and thighs in short sharp bursts. Combined with a good diet this type of routine will let you see overall body fat reducing and your muscles, particularly your abs, starting to show through. You know that you need to kick out the junk food right? You know this, so just do it. But do not reduce the amount you eat! Look, if you are going to build up to doing some serious exercise you need to keep up the energy level in your body so replace the junk with nuts and fruit. Reduce the carbs you eat and replace them with protein. Don't be silly though you still need carbs, unrefined ones, but eat them mainly during the day and make your evening meal protein rich. Remember to snack mid morning and mid afternoon on fruit or nuts or a protein supplement . So your question was "How Can I Get Rid Of My Love Handles?" well frankly this is how you do it - and you know it! The only thing stopping you is you! Figure out an exercise routine that has some resistance training in it and throw out the donuts et al! In all honesty, you may never get that six pack look and it can be down to all sorts of reasons, body shape, age, gender etc. But you can get fit and lose the fat and at least get your belly back under control. Please take this seriously. It is so important to your health and lifestyle to get fit and stay fit! Then you will not need to ask how can I get rid of my love handles. I know you can do it.
