Amazing Tips to Help you Get Rid of those Ugly Love Handles

Failed in losing your love handles, yet again? Love handles are actually fat accumulated in the abdominal area of a person. These fats are due to the extra calories that people eat. Love handles are the same as any other body fat. To lose your love handles you need to reduce your overall body fat. It's one of those body parts you don't pay much attention to until you catch a glimpse of yourself walking in front of the video camera or during a beach vacation. The love handles can attack any body type, whether it is skinny or fat.

Toning Up the Love Handles

Things you desire do not come easily, do they? But having a proper diet plan and a good work out regime might just smoothen the way for you. Here are a few simple tips which can help you reduce that flab around your waist:

• To tone your middle and love handle area you also need to strengthen your back. This creates stability in your torso and reduces the fat on your back.

1. Lie on your stomach and lift your head up a little.
2. You can keep your arms straight towards your sides or bend them with your elbows resting beside you.
3. Lift your feet and knees off the floor and flutter your legs rapidly back and forth. Do this for 20 seconds. Take a 20 seconds break and then repeat again.

• Don’t wear a tight top: Some people wear a tight top and complain about how fat they are. Well, you might want to try a “not so tight” stuff to hide your love handles.

• Dance for 15-20 minutes.

• Use mustard or low-fat mayonnaise on your sandwich as a substitute for regular mayonnaise.

• Skip the extra butter shot on your movie theatre popcorn and on every other snack.

• Drink at least three litres of water per day.
