Spot Training Doesn’t Hurt Series: Lose Love Handles

This is the third part of the Spot Training Series. The other previous posts include Losing Double Chin and Losing Arm Flabs.

Love handles are harder to isolate because they are located in an area where there are few muscles to flex and move. To prepare yourself for your love handles exercise, decrease the amount of fat in your diet and drink a lot of water. This will allow you to keep your weight off through your exercise regimen. You can also walk a lot or do a few minutes on your treadmill in order to get your body used to exercise.

Most fat will be deposited first in the hips, and they are the last to disappear as you lose weight. You will not notice results immediately, but as you engage in regular exercise and a healthy diet, you will achieve your fitness goals soon enough. Start your day by warming up: stretch your legs and arms to keep muscles from straining.

As soon as you have finished your five minute stretching exercise, you can either do pushups or crunches. Do these slowly, so as to avoid any backaches later. Try this exercise as well: stand comfortably, then slowly raise on knee to your chest as you count to ten. Hold that position for another ten counts, then return to your standing position. Do the same for the other knee.

You can also do lunges, and couple them with jogging. These are only a few ways to get and stay fit. Do more research on other exercises, and always consult with a doctor before doing any exercises. Happy slimming!
