Fatty deposits in the side and back of the waist are very unsightly; and their name, “love handles”, do not make them less of a problem to some people. They are not only ugly to look out, they also symbolized poor physical health. Good news is that your problems on love handles can be significantly reduced by creating minor, positive changes in your lifestyle. Love Handles Reduction by Decreasing Belly Fat. rnLove handles are signs that there is tummy fats are already excessive, and this case is common among men (women often have excess fat in arms and thighs). (Belly fat can cause heart diseases or metabolic disorders if not given attention. Reduce belly fat and say goodbye to love handles, as well as the chances of getting heart issues, diabetes, and other health complications. rnDo not attempt to reduce love handles by only targeting your abdominal region as a place to reduce weight. Losing weight in only one area of the body is impossible since fat burning can cause the body to find other areas to store fat and the abdominal area is one of such last places. Fats from other areas in the body must also be eliminated if you want to eliminate love handles. Love Handles Reduction by Exercising. Doing cardio exercises can make you burn fat by burning your calories. However, love handles reduction can be faster with strength training that helps build muscles and increase metabolism. Love Handles Reduction by Building Stronger Obliques. rnCommonly referred to as the 6-pack, the oblique muscle is located at both sides of the abdomen, surrounding the group of abdominal muscles. Obliques are very important as the help people keep their core stable, prevent injury, and providing strength for twists and turns. The reduction of love handles make the obliques more visible. rnThere are certain kinds of exercises that the American Council on Exercise found to be very helpful in building obliques, minimizing belly fats and getting rid of love handles like leg crunches, bicycle crunches, and captain’s chair leg raises. rnDoing vertical leg crunches is much like doing regular crunches but your legs are raised perpendicular to the ground. Reach on one side and then to the other while dong this routine to work your obliques. rnBicycle crunches are properly executed by lying on your back and pedaling your legs in the air just like riding a bicycle. Reach each knee with your elbow while your hands are placed at the back of your head in doing the crunches. rnTo do captain’s chair leg raises, you will need a pull up bar of a captain’s chair. You need to lift your legs vertically or bend your legs at the knee while executing these exercises. As you lift your legs, twist to the left and right alternately. rnBefore you try any of these exercises, do a video search on how to properly execute them if you are not familiar with these exercises.
