Love (or hate) handles, what are they, and what exercise for love handles can you do that will show results?

Love handles are deposits of fat around your waist, mainly at the sides. Technical term is ‘oblique’ muscles.

Also known as middle age spread as they seem to be very popular among the “slightly” older generation.

Is it possible to rid them with exercise? Well yes but you have to do it right. If you were to concentrate on them only you would make little progress.

If you do lots of exercise for love handles alone and no other parts of your body you will not get the result you desire. You have to go for an all round system.

An all round system doesn’t have to be tiny little meals and hours at the gym. With a decent system to educate you and then to hold your hand throughout you will achieve your weight goals without too much hard work.

I’m quite a lazy person myself and have got to the stage where I can keep in trim and do as little as possible in the exercise department.

If you know what to do and why you are doing it you make it so much easier for yourself than being in the dark, not knowing what to do and doing it wrong.

You see a burger, you want it. Knowing what it will do to you makes the decision much easier.

If it’s easier to make a decision on the burger, it’s easier to actually say no. I know this ’cause I could never say no at one time. Now I rarely say yes.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing like a good burger loaded with stuff. It’s just that there are so many other great foods that would substitute and won’t end up as 5 pounds on your belly in the morning.

One of my exercises for love handles is simple side bends. I stand upright with my arms raised high and bend from side to side. Simple as that.

I rarely do more than a handful of these as my overall regime keeps me in pretty decent shape that I don’t need to target specific areas.

I only exercise a little bit and I get to eat decent sized portions. My system comes with a computer program to generate my whole diet, specifically for me.

I don’t stress over what I’m going to eat. Is it good, is it bad, is it too much, too little? Click a few buttons with my mouse and I’m good to go. Try it, you’ll love it.

Love handles, those unsightly lumps of flab around our mid section. As an exercise for love handles, is sex any good? In a word no!

Having said that, there’s no harm in trying to get rid of them by having lots of sex. In fact I would encourage you to have as much sex as possible and put it down to research.

I suppose if you did have enough active sex you would burn enough calories that the love handles would eventually shrink and go.

The big problem is the amount of crap we eat in between sex sessions. I can’t speak for you but I’m ready to go again in less than a month.

On a more serious note, sex can be a great workout if you can work up a sweat and get your heart pumping.

Love handles and other fatty deposits are rather more difficult to get rid of. It can be done but it takes willpower and work.

All manner of exercise for love handles can be found on the net if you do a quick search. Some simple and some so complex I would fear serious injury if tried.

In my view there’s nothing like an all round regime. A system that allows you to eat well while also making the right kind of moves to keep in trim.

If you can find a decent all round system that can keep the need for heavy exercise down to a minimum, you’ll find something like this hard to replace.

The system I use is like this. I can plan ahead with my meals and exercise. Actually, I use a (stress free) online diet generator to create my meals.

I also struggled with my weight at one time. Truth is I didn’t struggle; I just didn’t even try as I thought I couldn’t lose weight.

It’s not like that for me now. I discovered a system that works for me. I can eat decent size meals and don’t have to exercise to excess.

It’s a simple all round system that keeps me in trim and will keep you in trim as well. That’s if you want to keep in trim.

Many people say they look for dieting systems but deep down do they really, really want to find one? Do you?

One of the side effects to using a system like this and losing a few pounds is more sex! Much more sex!

Exercise for love handles, will I be in agony? Whether you are or not is based on how you do it, but it can be pain free.

Why we call those chubby lumps at our sides ‘love handles’ is a mystery to me. There’s not a lot to love about them.

The technical term for love handles is obliques, after the oblique muscles which sit at an angle at each side. The word oblique mean ‘at an angle’.

The majority of advice in the fitness game will be garbage like – eat healthily, balanced diet, exercise regularly – that sort of thing.

We are well aware of all that advice but we need an easy way without any real 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 a balancing act. Do you really want to rid yourself of your love handles? Enough to make a lifestyle change?

Or will you choose to work much harder and still enjoy all the junk foods you do now. That one is up to you.

Let’s take side bends as an exercise for love handles. Continue on your junk food diet and do 200 side bends everyday just to maintain your love handles as they are. Or change your lifestyle and do 50 side bends to maintain no love handles at all.

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 person, I’m lazy. I try to eat the best options, this way it keeps the exercise to a minimum. I still exercise for love handles but only to stop them appearing again.

To wrap it up, it will indeed hurt if you have to do masses of exercise for love handles. Far better to minimise the exercise by altering your lifestyle a bit.
