Love Handle Exercises – Side Bends Won’t Work
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. It’s usually geared to selling you some pills or equipment.
The usual suspect in the exercise for love handles category is the good old side bend. You hold something above your head, usually a broom handle or stick and then lean or bend left, then right. Then repeat, repeatedly. Get real! 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 get a lot of know it alls telling you they do indeed work. They will work if you incorporate them with an all round system.
If you do side bends as part of a thorough workout then they will work. 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.
Energy consumption simply means what you eat. To burn energy off you simply have to do something that is active. Exercise usually. You can burn energy off (exercise) with any form of activity.
Could be any of these…walking, sex, swimming, jogging or even err … sex again! Any type of exercise is good for you. No exercise is bad for you. The reason why people are getting fatter is they don’t burn off the calories that they eat.
Doing exercise for love handles will not work unless you have an all round workout. I’m a naturally lazy person so I tend to go swimming a lot. It’s a great non impact all round exercise. If you can get to a swimming pool you should. It’s gentle and has great benefits for you.
I hate jogging and see no benefit in killing your knees every day. You may need them in later life! 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 think it’s time you took your health & weight serious then you can help yourself by getting a good all round system. Not some new fancy fad diet but a solid system that’s proven to work and isn’t too harsh as to turn you off completely. I’ve reviewed the (probably) best five methods out there at this website…
