A Few Effective Exercises To Lose Love Handles

By Iain Benzell


People that are proud of their bodies often still have problems in certain areas. Men, for example, seem to find it difficult to find the right exercises to lose love handles. Women often struggle with getting rid of excess weight around the hips and the buttocks. Many people are of the opinion that a set of specific workouts will help them turn fat into muscle.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to build muscle while there is still excess fat. Fat can never be turned into muscle and it is therefore necessary to first follow a diet and to then build muscle. Losing fat requires a diet that is low in calories but it is always better to make holistic lifestyle changes rather than looking for short term solutions.

In order to get rid of fat it is necessary to follow a diet which is low in calories. However, before going on any strict diet it is necessary to ask advice from a medical expert. Many diets provide quick results but without a follow up program the weight will simply pile up again in no time at all.

Sit ups remain one of the very best ways in which to develop and build the abdominal muscles. The best way to do these is to lay flat on the back. The knees should be bent and the hands behind the head. When exhaling a breath, the chest is lifted. Oblique sit ups are a variation on the theme where the knees are allowed to fall towards the side of the body.

Bicycle exercises are also extremely useful in building attractive tummy muscles. To get maximum advantage it is necessary to lay flat on the back with the hands behind the head. The chest is then lifted towards the sky while the torso is twisted to one side. The right elbow is then brought to the left knee after which the body is lowered again.

Many fitness experts reckon that the sledgehammer is the very best way in which to develop abdominal muscle. An ordinary sledgehammer is used but even a broomstick or a bat can be used. It is important to swing the instrument as high as possible and to bring it down with force while twisting the body sideways. The hammer can be brought down on any object.

Long term results can only be attained with long term effort, a healthy diet and a moderate workout program. No program can result in quick muscle building and it is certainly no solution to resort to solutions such as steroids. Unfortunately the stomach is one of those areas where men typically carry extra fat.
