Dumbbell side bends

This is one of those good exercises which will build up muscle and reduce fat in the love handle area. Start by standing up straight and hold one dumbbell in your hand at your side. Then slowly start to bend the torso sideways whilst letting the dumbbell drift toward the ground. Now slowly start to straighten back up to your starting position using your stomach muscles. Do 15 on each side.
Reduce the calories

This is one of the steps you can NOT avoid. To reduce fat and lose weight, you need to cut down on excess calories. It's simple. Even if your were to exercise like you were possessed, the fact is that you will always gain weight if you are eating more calories than you are working off whilst exercising. Get a grip on the amount you eat and the type of food which passes your lips. This practically always goes for fat and sugary foods.
Cardiovascular exercise is GREAT.

Getting on the treadmill or a brisk long walk. Spinning classes at the gym or a ride through the forest. Any kind of cardiovascular exercise is great. Be it football, skating, running or anything which could raise the heart rate and even break you into a sweat. Don't kill yourself, just do what you can.
