Love Handle Exercises – If Side Bends Don’t Work – What Will?
Do any search on the net and you’ll hit a million websites that will promise to strip that fat from your love handles. Fact is, the majority is useless. Designed to sell you some crap diet or some pills.
The side bend is the usual suspect in the exercise for love handles category. You hold a walking stick or broom above your head and bend from side to side. Simple! You can do side bends all you like but they won’t work.
They rarely work because you are trying to target just one small area. This is very difficult if not impossible. You’ll always get the smart ass telling you they do work. They do work, but only if you do them with a whole all round system and not just “spot” training.
You will lose weight from your love handles if you incorporate the side bends with an all round workout. If your workout is also part of an all round system you could double your results. The fact is, to lose weight (or fat) you need to burn more energy than you consume.
Consuming energy means eating it, usually food. Burning energy off is done simply by activity or exercise. Any form of activity will burn energy off. This is basically what exercise is.
This could be walking, swimming, running, weightlifting or even sex. The last one sounds good to me! Any form of exercise is better than no form of exercise. The reason why people are getting fatter is they don’t burn off the calories that they eat.
You can do love handle exercises for ever and a day but ignore other areas and you will end up back at square one. If you hate the sound of exercise consider swimming. I go swimming a lot and it’s a great all round workout and it isn’t taxing on your joints. If you can get to a swimming pool you should. It’s gentle and has great benefits for you.
I dislike jogging and the like. I see no reason to pay for a slim figure with wrecked knee joints. You know the guy who made jogging famous collapsed and died while out jogging? His body being found by two smokers passing by. There’s irony for ya!
If you are serious about your shape then you need to get yourself an all round system to follow. Not some new fangled diet that won’t work but a system that will work long term and is gentle enough for you to keep at it. I’ve reviewed the (probably) best five methods out there at this website…
