So what about those love handles huh? Why on earth do we call them that? Nobody loves a love handle, well most of us don't . They are just like a bad smell which seem to linger on! The bad news is this. If anyone tells you they have a quick way of getting rid of love handles…….DO NOT BELIEVE THEM! It is not that easy. There are no rapid quick fire ways to get rid of love handles. And in the majority of cases, spot toning does not work either. But there is hope. Certain changes in the way you exercise and the way you run your life can do one heck of a lot to ridding yourself of the spare tire. Here are s few suggestions to get you started… Surgery. OK. Don't panic. I mean Liposuction. It may seem a little drastic and it is not for everyone but if you have seriously tried just about everything else out there, liposuction is the last resort. I would go as far to suggest that it maybe the key if you are 10 to 25 kilos overweight and it is all in the midrift area which won't seem to reduce in size, even though the rest of your body has slimmed down. Liposuction will improve your contours but you won't see much weight loss even though the fat is sucked away from the problem area during the liposuction procedure. As always, before considering this option you will need to consult with your doctor Make your back stronger Sit ups and crunches will only do so much on there own without working on your lower back with specific exercises. This will increase the overall muscle in your midsection, which will lead to less fat, which leads to much smaller love handles. I can suggest one drill which will make a difference: As you lie on your stomach, elevate your knees and feet and 'flutter kick' your legs as if you were swimming on dry land. You should do this for 15 - 20 seconds, rest for 30 - 40 seconds and then repeat once more. Cut down on your Salt intake. Nowadays, we all know that too much salt in our foods is not beneficial at all. It is also a good friend of the love handles. Why? Because too much salt can lead to water retention, especially around the tummy area and will make your handles seem like super love handles. This is an easy step to follow as reducing your salt (sodium as it is also known) can lead to a much healthier you!
