Exercise for love handles, will it hurt me? Well that all rests on what & how you do it. But it doesn’t have to be.

Those nasty lumps of fat at your sides are what is termed as ‘love handles’. There’s nothing lovely about them so where the name comes from I don’t know.

The correct term for them is ‘obliques’, as they are at an angle to our bodies. The term oblique means slanting, or at an angle.

In the fitness & health industry the standard advice starts with - eat healthily, exercise moderately, balanced diet - and all the other rubbish they spout.

Yes people, we know all that but we want to know how to get rid of love handles without all that hard work. Is it possible?

Yes, you could do it. You could eat as you are now but it will take an almost Herculean effort to manage it.

The problem is while you are hard at it exercising for your love handles, sweating yesterdays burgers off, today’s burgers are making their way slowly to your midriff.

If, and I say this carefully, you could reduce your intake of junk food you could also reduce the amount of exercise it takes to look great.

It’s about compromise. How much do you really want to lose those love handles? Is it enough to make a change to your lifestyle?

Or will you still eat like you do now and decide to do a lot more exercise. It’s your choice.

Example exercises for love handles are side bends. If you eat like you do now you may need to do a couple hundred of these a day to stay as you are. Or make the lifestyle change and only need to do fifty to get rid of the love handles.

You can see from the above example how it’s a trade off. Eating junk means more exercise, eating better means less exercise.

As a lazy person myself I tend to eat as good as I possibly can so I can keep any exercise down to a minimum. I still exercise for my love handles but only to stop them re-appearing.

In conclusion, you will get pain if you have to do loads of exercise for your love handles. If you can change you eating habits you can manage with far less exercise.
