Thread: Love handles......be gone I say!!!

there is no exercise that will reduce love handles because there is no such thing as spot reduction, it's all about diet.

Everyone wants abs.... this topic is soooooo popular so, hence you do a search (see right hand corner above) and voila:

getting the 8 PACK!!

How to reveal my Abs?

two of the many links....

if you have big obliques under the fat on your stomach it will give the apperance of large love handles...

How could I have obtained large bliques?

Love handles unfortunately will be the LAST part of your bodyfat to go. The good news is that once the deposits are gone from that area, they generally don't come back quite as easily. Some people are simply predisposed to have more fat deposits in those areas (like myself and probably many others here). It is an unsightly pain in the ass...but get your BF level down low enough and they basically disappear. Make yourself look wider as well and they aren't as noticable.

I always hated the fact that wearing anything tight on the lower body makes them paunch out and look HUGE.

Training them with weights will make them grow and that is not too good. Like everone said, it makes you look wider.

Getting rid of the fat on top of the obliques is the only way to rid yourself of love handles.

I dont train them.......and I dont want them. It is soft all the way to the bone....so I think it is just fat........yes I hat tight fitting things as well becuase of this reason.

Too bad they are not the first thing to go.

Ppl have told me to get rid of the fat around the mid section by doing situps or things like that....but I was always sure this would just build more muscle and push the fat out more.

that is a very common misconception of the general public, but as I said you cannot spot reduce.

I understand now.......thank you very much!!! =)
Dont want to work out wrong an get mishapen.
Actaully......I had a friend whos goal was to weightlift and get huge and then cut the fat but he just ended up pumping up the muscle under the fat and looks somewhat obese.
