Ways to get Rid of Your Love Handles

If someone says that you have love handles, it's really a nice way of saying that you are carrying around extra fat. A way to hold onto someone to show your affection certainly sounds wonderful. The truth, however, is that love handles are really just a euphemism for unhealthy pockets of fat around the midsection. In extreme cases, these handles bulge out, covering the top part of the person's pants. "Muffin top" is also used to describe this. The good news is that you do not have to live with these handles or muffin tops. If you put in some effort, you can take off some (or all) of your excess weight and lose those handles. Here are some things you can do to lose weight and inches. By the way, my favorite weight loss supplement is Shakeology. Be sure to read this Shakeology review.

Don't think of your love handles as something separate from the rest of your body. Think about losing weight and getting fit in general. This means working on all of your muscles and bodily systems.

It won't do you any good to only focus on one single part of your body. All that will do is build up the muscle underneath your "extra baggage" and make it even more prominent. Your goal, after all, is to appear and feel healthier, and you get this by working on your body as a whole. It is a win-win!

Many trainers will recommend adding in a weight training session to substitute for other forms of exercise. You won't benefit from weight training as much as you will from aerobic exercise but it is beneficial in other ways. Weight training can help you build your muscle mass which makes other exercise easier to do and increase your metabolism. You will burn fat faster with each increase in metabolism.

Don't believe those health food nuts who try to sell you supplements that guarantee results. They are all lies. Honestly there is not one single exercise that will get rid of love handles alone. In fact, focusing solely on one exercise is a good way to build up the muscles behind your love handles. This can make them even more prominent and perky. You certainly don't want to see that do you?

If you want to make your love handles a thing of the past, there are quite a few ways to accomplish this. Exercising consistently can certainly help with your efforts.

Cutting back drastically on calories can also help. You may get even better results if you do both. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you talk to your doctor. You want to get a professional opinion to make sure you are losing weight in a healthy way. You can definitely put your love handles behind you. In most cases, you can lose them by changing some of your daily habits. Before you go, don't forget to read this post titled "Shakeology vs. Slim Fast".
