Love Handles
Love Handles

Love handles don't discriminate. Couch potatoes and gym addicts both are plagued by the dreaded love handles. This is a quick overview of what you need to do in order to get rid of love handles.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Time to exercise (30 minutes a day is fine, if you can do more, even better)
  • Smart food choices
  1. Step 1

    To get rid of love handles, modify your diet. Stick to whole grains, lean protein and fruits & vegetables.

  2. Step 2

    Include 3 servings of lowfat dairy products a day. Studies have shown that consuming lowfat dairy products helps minimize abdominal fat. Cottage cheese and ricotta cheese are particularly helpful when paired with step 4.

  3. Step 3

    Get moving! Yep, to eliminate your love handles and let the underlying muscle shine through, you need to burn some fat. Studies have shown that intervals (periods of alternating moderate and intense activity in the same session) burn fat the fastest and the longest.

  4. Step 4

    Pump iron! Rev up your metabolism so you burn even more fat. Work the muscles in your chest, back, arms, legs and of course your abs. For the best results in the shortest amount of time, alternate your strength training with your aerobic exercise. This will give your muscles time to repair in between sessions.

  5. Step 5

Tips & Warnings
  • Strive for consistency, not perfection. If you have an indulgent meal or miss an exercise session, don't sweat it. Simply get back on track with your next meal or your next scheduled work out session.
