Although the term ‘love handles’ sounds affectionate, but having them is not that pleasant. As ‘zero-figures’ is almost synonymous to being healthy, love handles or spare tires are signs of unhealthiness for all people.
Love handles colloquially called muffin tops are the depositions of fat in or around the waist and the abdomen. Now-a-days both men and women are getting more image conscious and end up using exclusive products that claim to reduce these love handles, which is a myth and may have serious consequences. It is very difficult to reduce the fats accumulated in a particular spot or area with the help of
medicines or pills. Exercises concentrated to any region may prove fruitful but results can vary from person to person.
In order to reduce these ugly looking love handles, regular physical activity is essential. A
well-designed exercise plan with cardiovascular exercises or any regime that concentrates to abdominal fat loss is effective to lose the love handles.
The following physical activities come handy and are quite convenient too:
• Brisk Walking:
Brisk walking is a simple exercise that anyone can do at all times.. Around half an hour of regular brisk walking for four to five times a week shows satisfactory results in a few months.
• Cycling/ Biking:
Cycling is a type of a cardio exercise that is not too much of a burden on your daily work routine. It is a complete exercise for the whole body. Cycling speeds up the fat burning process and helps lose your love handles. Cycling is advisable to those suffering from joint problems, arthritis, and other cardiovascular problems.
• Out door sports:
Outdoor sports like tennis, badminton, volleyball, basketball, hockey, cricket or any game that interests you helps to burn out a huge number of calories and giving you maximum pleasure. If not having a group is keeping you from playing the sport of your interest, then you can take help from the sports clubs or groups that would solve this problem. Spending an hour on the court can help you shed up to 500 calories and lose your love handles.
• Special cardio exercises:
You can also opt for a cardiovascular exercise regime under the observation of a trainer. Losing the love handles gets easier with cardio exercises that include various types of crunches, and jumping ropes. These exercises help you melt your fat and control your cholesterol levels.
Apart from this, you can visit a registered dietician and plan out a diet that is not only nutritious but also burns body fat.
Losing your love handles is difficult as it is the most rigid area of the body that melts last. Exercises concentrated towards belly fat are often ineffective to reduce love handles. A combination of a well-balanced nutritious diet, a suitable exercise regime, and overall fat loss is the only way to lose your love handles and look healthy.
