Very Basic Exercises To Lose Love Handles

By Iain Benzell


People that are proud of their bodies often still have problems in certain areas. Men, for example, seem to find it difficult to find the right exercises to lose love handles. Women often struggle with getting rid of excess weight around the hips and the buttocks. Many people are of the opinion that a set of specific workouts will help them turn fat into muscle.

The bad news is that fat can never be changed into muscle. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to first get rid of the excess fat and to them build muscle by means of a specific program. Diet alone is also of no use. It is necessary to make certain lifestyle changes if the aim is to lose fat and to build muscle.

In order to get rid of fat it is necessary to follow a diet which is low in calories. However, before going on any strict diet it is necessary to ask advice from a medical expert. Many diets provide quick results but without a follow up program the weight will simply pile up again in no time at all.

Sit ups remain one of the very best ways in which to develop and build the abdominal muscles. The best way to do these is to lay flat on the back. The knees should be bent and the hands behind the head. When exhaling a breath, the chest is lifted. Oblique sit ups are a variation on the theme where the knees are allowed to fall towards the side of the body.

Bicycle exercises are also extremely useful in building attractive tummy muscles. To get maximum advantage it is necessary to lay flat on the back with the hands behind the head. The chest is then lifted towards the sky while the torso is twisted to one side. The right elbow is then brought to the left knee after which the body is lowered again.

A sledgehammer can also be used to gain impressive results. The hammer is swung in powerful blows to hit an object on the ground. Something that provides a bit of resistance, such as a tire is recommended. The body must be twisted with each blow. It is necessary to repeat at least twenty blows in each session.

Long term results can only be attained with long term effort, a healthy diet and a moderate workout program. No program can result in quick muscle building and it is certainly no solution to resort to solutions such as steroids. Unfortunately the stomach is one of those areas where men typically carry extra fat.
