Oh those ugly love handles. Or little rolls of fat that spill out over the top of your jeans. Some find them cute but you’re not one of them. Having resisted your efforts to get rid for them they bulge out through form fitting sweaters and tops daring you to do something.

What you’ve got is a bit of a Catch 22 here. Because it’s not easy to spot reduce the fat away from a specific part of your body. Yet let’s see if we can’t suggest an approach that might help change your life for the better as you lose those pesky love handles.

So are you ready for it?

Part of the problem is that for some anyway the love handles are one of the last fat reserves to go. Not what you wanted to hear I know. But not only is it not possible to spot reduce the fat you’re trying to get rid of has a tendency to resist all reduction efforts to begin with.

With this in mind you will be better off if you target your overall body fat percentage.

So just how does one reduce their percentage of body fat? Here are two things to try.

First you want to come up with a nutritious diet plan to follow. Because the big idea here, one that’s easy to understand, is you want to eliminate 500 calories a day from your diet. Given how many eat way too much this shouldn’t be that tough. Not when a medium fast food French fries alone packs over 375 calories.

But let’s say 500 calories a day still seems insurmountable. Even if it doesn’t you still want to do a 30-45 minute cardio workout four times a week. Five sessions would be better still. Doing so will increase the calorie burn giving you two ways to burn off that fat clinging to your waist.

The ideal thing is to get into a sustainable routine that you enjoy. Over the long haul if you can cut back on how much you eat and burn off more calories you will see those love handles melt away.

Finally and while it won’t have a major effect, it can’t hurt to do exercises designed to specifically work the obliques so that you’re at least doing what you can to help tone the muscles under the existing layer of fat.

The list of such appropriate ab exercises would include leg raises, crunches, the bicycle and side bends. The idea is to use a twisting motion that brings all your core muscles into play. Including the obliques. You can also speed things up by doing weight training focusing on your abs.

There not that tough really. What you’ve got is a three pronged program that can’t help but make love handles disappear. Provided you religiously follow the program of aerobic exercise, a sensible diet and toning exercises for your obliques.
