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. You hold something above your head, usually a broom handle or stick and then lean or bend left, then right. Then repeat, repeatedly. Get real! Of course, they rarely work.

The fact they won’t work is that targeting one particular area to lose weight from is nigh on impossible. You’ll always get the smart ass telling you they do work. They do work, but only if you do them with a whole all round system and not just “spot” training.

You will lose weight from your love handles if you incorporate the side bends with an all round workout. If you have a healthy diet as well as a good workout system you will see far better results. It’s a well known (but ignored) fact that to lose weight you simply need to consume less energy than you burn off.

Energy consumption simply means what you eat. Burning energy off is done simply by activity or exercise. You can burn energy off (exercise) with any form of activity.

Any of these will do … Swimming, jogging, cycling, walking, and making love even! Any type of exercise is good for you. No exercise is bad for you. The reason why people are getting fatter is they don’t burn off the calories that they eat.

You can do love handle exercises for ever and a day but ignore other areas and you will end up back at square one. I’m a naturally lazy person so I tend to go swimming a lot. It’s a great non impact all round exercise. If you can get to a swimming pool you should. It’s gentle and has great benefits for you.

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? He was discovered by 2 smokers walking past. Irony eh?

If you think it’s time you took your health & weight serious then you can help yourself by getting a good all round system. 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.
