Love Handle Exercises – Side Bends Aren’t The Answer
There are many web sites and articles out there that promise to reveal how to shed fat from your love handles. The fact is most of it’s crap. It’s usually geared to selling you some pills or equipment.
The usual suspect in the exercise for love handles category is the good old side bend. Grab a broom handle and hold it high, then bend from side to side. I wish! Of course, they rarely work.
They rarely work because you are trying to target just one small area. This is very difficult if not impossible. Lots of people and websites will tell you otherwise though. They will work if you incorporate them with an all round system.
If you do side bends as part of a thorough workout then they will work. If your workout is also part of an all round system you could double your results. It’s a well known (but ignored) fact that to lose weight you simply need to consume less energy than you burn off.
To consume energy simply means to eat food. Burning energy off is done simply by activity or exercise. Exercise can be any form of activity that burns calories.
This could be walking, swimming, running, weightlifting or even sex. The last one sounds good to me! Any form of exercise is better than no form of exercise. The reason why people are getting fatter is they don’t burn off the calories that they eat.
You can exercise for your love handles all you want but if you ignore other areas you will simply get nowhere fast. If you hate the sound of exercise consider swimming. I go swimming a lot and it’s a great all round workout and it isn’t taxing on your joints. If you are near a pool, then use it as the benefits can be huge.
I dislike jogging and the like. I see no reason to pay for a slim figure with wrecked knee joints. You know the guy who made jogging famous collapsed and died while out jogging? Ironically discovered by two smokers walking past.
If you are serious about your shape then you need to get yourself an all round system to follow. Not some new fancy fad diet but a solid system that’s proven to work and isn’t too harsh as to turn you off completely. Check out (probably) the best five systems that are out there at this site …
