Exercises For Love Handles - The Very 2 You Must Include

It is not how many exercises you do
It's one of those problems that people have from carrying a few extra pounds, Love Handles. And yet most of us think that the best way to get rid of them, is to do sit-ups. Well, I'm sorry to break it to you, but it most certainly is not! So which exercises are good for love handles? Well, knowing which exercises to include in your fitness program to reduce these unsightly things has become a very popular topic. I can remember the days of when I was spending countless hours at the gym and not seeing the results for all the hard work I was putting in. It wasn't until I learnt that it's not how many exercises you do, but rather, which exercises you do that makes the difference.

I think that when most people start going to the gym, very few of them actually invest the time or money to learn about which exercises are best suited for their goals. This is why you can spend hours and hours exercising, but never really achieve the results you were hoping for. Once you understand which exercises are most effective for you, the results will show up so quickly, you will wish you had learnt this vital piece of information earlier.

The truth about love handles
The only real way to lose your love handles is to reduce your overall body weight. If you wonder why you have love handles but the rest of your body seems OK, this can be associated with your genetic makeup. As it's your genes which are the instructions in your body that determines where your excess fat is stored. But don't worry, there is always something you can do about it. So without any further delay, I introduce you to a couple of exercises for those love handles.

2 Very Effective Exercises For Love Handles

Alternating Abdominal Crunch
To perform this exercise, lie on your back with your feet flat on the floor so that your legs form a 90 degree angle. Then touch the side of your head with the fingers of both hands and crunch up so that your left elbow points towards your right knee. Hold for 2-3 seconds. Then, move back to the starting position and crunch up so that your right elbow points towards your left knee. Hold for 2-3 seconds. Be sure that you can feel the contraction of your abdominal muscles.

Just remember that it's not the number of exercises you do, but rather, which exercises you do that will make the difference. With that in mind, I offer you another great exercise.

Abdominal Scissors
For this exercises, you will need to lie on your back and stretch out your arms behind your head so that they are 30 degrees from the floor. Then lift your legs so that they are 45 degrees from the ground. This will be your starting position and will look like you are forming a 'V'. Then, bring your shoulders off the ground and move your arms forward towards your legs whilst at the same time, bringing your legs towards your head and lifting your hips off the ground. Do this until your arms and legs have slightly crossed over.
