2 Super Love Handle Exercises

For you who don’t know what ‘love handles’ are, it’s the portion around your waist that tends to bulge over your belt.
Belly fat, tires, etc. are other names for this unpleasantness, love handles being the most endearing term. If you enjoy
lot of junk food and beer, it’s very likely that you have your own set of love handles.

So what can you do to find out if you have love handles? Pinch yourself at your waist. If you are holding on to fat roll
I can promise you that you have bit of flabby fat around your midsection.

Getting rid of love handles is not just matter of doing couple of exercises. You can lose the flab, but it’s going to
take some time. The accumulated fat area around the waist is the last area your body will pay attention to losing. It’s also
the toughest area to target for losing this fat.

These two love handle exercises are going to involve targeting the oblique muscle areas. The oblique muscle group is the
waist area.

Twist crunches targets your obliques and abs, and is very effective. They basically put twist to normal sit-up.

5. Do twenty repetitions daily.

You might want to take breather now. Drink little bit of water and recover from shocking your muscles. Now move on to
the other exercise.

Standing Trunk Twists is also good at targeting the obliques.

you are turning. Do not move your feet while doing this action.
3. Repeat step 2, twisting to the right side now. This is one repetition.
