Love handles, obliques, a tire – no matter what you call the fat around your middle – you want to get rid of it! Wondering what is the best way to lose love handles? Read on!
Boost your metabolism
It is impossible to target fat loss to a specific area of your body. You can reduce the amount of fat hanging onto your middle by reducing your total body fat amount. The best way to loose body fat is to boost your metabolism with total body fitness. In short, cardio exercise is the best and only way to get rid of your love handles.
You should involve yourself in at least 30 minutes of cardio 3 to 4 times a week in order to burn fat and boost your metabolism. There are many cardio options, such as fitness classes, treadmill workouts, elliptical cross fit, jogging and home video work outs.
Tone your muscles
By building and toning muscle you can boost your metabolism and lose more fat. The added benefit of toning your muscles, particularly your abs, is that once you lose the fat, nice firm muscles can be shown off.
It is important to remember to focus on strengthening your back as well as your stomach and oblique muscles to create a balance torso. If you focus on just doing stomach exercises you can cause back problems.
The best ab workouts that I recommend that help to firm and shape your stomach and boost your metabolism are: 8 minute Abs with Jamie Brenkus and The Firm: 5 Day Abs. I have seen results in as little as 2 weeks with these workouts! You can watch 8 minute Abs on YouTube.com for free, and purchase The Firm: 5 Day Abs on Amazon.com for $5 or less.
