Is your love handle irritating you too much? If you are tired of doing abdominal crunches and sit-ups all day long and still getting no concrete results, then it is time to try something new. Believe it or not, no matter how many sit-ups or crunches you do per day, you are not going to get rid of those bulging love handles with these methods. So what is the way out? In this article I will tell you about just that!
So why don’t ab exercises work? Listen, people who tell you that it is possible to get rid of love handles by doing just ab exercises probably believe in the myth that it is possible to spot reduce fat. The truth is that your body will decide where it would start burning fat from, and you cannot force it to do otherwise!
And as a matter of fact, the area around your abdomen is the last part your body would start burning fat from! This further means that you don’t need to work extra hard to get rid of love handles; instead, you just need to do some ‘smart’ workout techniques that are designed to help you get rid of love handles quickly!
Here are some methods you can use to get rid of love handles forever:
1. Don’t exercise on the floor. Instead, use exercise balls. When you use exercise balls, your body would be forced to use more muscles in order to balance itself so that you don’t fall off! This would in turn increase the intensity of the workout, resulting in quick loss of love handles!
2. Abdominal crunches and push-ups are passé. If you really want to get rid of love handles then you need to try something new such as the Standing Trunk Twists or Twist Crunches; believe it or not, those are perfect workouts for love handles!
3. Use proper weights when exercising. Remember that the more weights you use, the more lean muscles you would build, and the more lean muscles you have, the faster you would burn fat and lose weight!
4. Exercises can do only so much. If you are serious about getting rid of love handles fast, then you also need to stabilize your food habits. You should cut down on your calorie intake. Of course I don’t recommend starving in any shape or form, but you should definitely avoid junk and sugary foods which contain zero nutrition and loads of empty calories; these empty calories in turn make you fatter!
Replace junk foods with natural fruits and vegetables. Eat lean chicken meat too, as it is rich in protein. Protein will help you build strong lean muscles, which in turn will help you with weight loss!
Losing love handles is not as hard as you believe! Try out the methods above and I am sure you would succeed!
