Exercise For Love Handles – Does It Hurt Bad?

Exercise for love handles, is it painful? Depends on what you do. It doesn’t have to be painful.

Those nasty lumps of fat at your sides are what is termed as ‘love handles’. There’s nothing lovely about them so where the name comes from I don’t know.

The technical term for love handles is obliques, after the oblique muscles which sit at an angle at each side. The word oblique mean ‘at an angle’.

The majority of advice in the fitness game will be garbage like – eat healthily, balanced diet, exercise regularly – that sort of thing.

Yes people, we know all that but we want to know how to get rid of love handles without all that hard work. Is it possible?

Well, let me say this, yes it’s possible to eat like you are now and lose your love handles but it will take an enormous amount of work.

The problem is while you are hard at it exercising for your love handles, sweating yesterdays burgers off, today’s burgers are making their way slowly to your midriff.

If, and it’s a big if, you could stop with the all the bad food you wouldn’t have to do nearly as much exercise to maintain a great body.

It’s all about trade-off. How bad do you want to get rid of your love handles? Bad enough to change your lifestyle?

Or will you choose to work much harder and still enjoy all the junk foods you do now. That one is up to you.

A popular exercise for love handles is side bends. You may need to do a few hundred a day to maintain your love handles and your current diet. Or only do a few dozen to keep the love handles flat if you make the lifestyle change.

As you can see from the example above, it’s a compromise. More garbage food will mean more exercise. Better food means less exercise.

I’m inherently lazy, so I tend to go for the healthiest option that I can to minimise any exercise I have to do. I still do exercises for love handles but only to keep them at bay.

So there you have it, exercise for love handles will hurt if you have to do loads of them just to maintain your current love handles. It’s far less painful if you are prepared to adjust your lifestyle a bit.
