Picture your love handles. It is only one small step to imagine why they are called this isn’t it. So why then do we all want to lose our love handles? Particularly men!

So you ask the question to yourself, “How Can I get Rid Of My Love Handles?”. And you know the answer is straight forward but not necessarily easy.

Your love handles cover the area over your oblique stomach muscles. There are specific exercises that you can do to strengthen these muscles but unfortunately these exercises on their own will do nothing to get rid of your love handles. The problem is we cannot tell our bodies where to lose fat from so we need to lose overall body fat.

You need to exercise and change your eating patterns in order to get to the bottom of the problem

As far as exercise is concerned of course you need to exercise your abdominal muscles but more importantly you need to do cardio exercise. The type of cardio exercise you do is important. You need to incorporate resistance training. Yes I know that resistance training may appear to be for the muscle boys but hear me you need to do it. But not to excess.

You need to devise a resistance training program that doesn’t just exercise your main muscle groups but actually gets you out of puff at the same time. So find out how to work the main muscle groups, chest, shoulders, back and thighs in short sharp bursts and combine this with a good diet and you will see overall body fat reducing and your muscles, particularly your abs, starting to show through.

As far as your diet is concerned you know that you need to kick out the junk food. You do know this right? So just do it. But don’t reduce the overall amount of food you eat! You are going to start doing some serious exercise so you need to keep up the nutrient level in your body therefore build up the quantity of good food you eat while scrapping the junk. Reduce the carbs you eat and replace them with protein. Don’t be silly though you still need carbs but eat them mainly during the day, make sure you eat wholemeal cereals, brown or wild rice and similar unrefined carbs and make your evening meal protein rich. Snack on fruit or nuts or a protein supplement mid morning and mid afternoon.

To wrap up you asked “How Can I Get Rid Of My Love Handles?” and fundementally this is the not very secret way to do it – and you know it! You have no real reason not to do it. Just find an exercise routine that has some resistance training in it and throw out the krispy kremes et al! Depending on all sorts of reasons, body shape, age, gender etc., you may never get that six pack look. But you can lose the fat and get fit and at least reduce the big love handles to dinky love handles!

This stuff is serious. It really is important to your health and lifestyle to get fit and stay fit! Then you will not need to ask how can I get rid of my love handles.

I wish you every success.
