No doubt without too much use of your imagination you can picture your love handles. And it is only one small step to picture why they are called this. Isn’t it strange then that we all want to lose our love handles? Particularly guys!

Ask yourself the question then, “How Can I get Rid Of My Love Handles?”. You know the answer is straight forward but what bothers you is that it is not necessarily easy.

Your love handles cover the area over your oblique stomach muscles. There are exercises that you can do to target your obliques but unfortunately these exercises on their own will do nothing to get rid of your love handles. Unfortunately we cannot tell our bodies where to lose fat from so we need to lose overall body fat and that is our main problem.

In order to get to the bottom of the problem you need to change your eating patterns and exercise.

Where exercise is concerned apart from exercising your abdominal muscles you more importantly need to do cardio exercise. The particular cardio exercise you do is important. You need to incorporate resistance training. But that is for the muscle boys I hear you say and yes I know that the common conception is that resistance training is for the muscle bound but hear me you need to do it. But not to excess.

You need to put together a training program that doesn’t just exercise your main muscle groups but actually gets you short of wind at the same time. So find out how to work the main muscle groups, chest, shoulders, back and thighs in short sharp bursts. Combined with a good diet this type of routine will let you see overall body fat reducing and your muscles, particularly your abs, starting to show through.

You know that you need to kick out the junk food right? You know this, so just do it. But do not reduce the amount you eat! Look, if you are going to build up to doing some serious exercise you need to keep up the energy level in your body so replace the junk with nuts and fruit. Reduce the carbs you eat and replace them with protein. Don’t be silly though you still need carbs, unrefined ones, but eat them mainly during the day and make your evening meal protein rich. Remember to snack mid morning and mid afternoon on fruit or nuts or a protein supplement .

You asked “How Can I Get Rid Of My Love Handles?” and frankly this is how you do it – and you know it! So what is stopping you? Just work out an exercise routine that has some resistance training in it and throw out the donuts et al! Listen, you may never get that six pack look and it can be down to all sorts of reasons, body shape, age, gender etc. But you can lose the fat and get fit and at least reduce the big love handles to dinky love handles!

Seriously it really is important to your health and lifestyle to get fit and stay fit! Then you will not need to ask how can I get rid of my love handles.

Wishing you every success.
