The 4 Best Love Handle Exercises
1. Sledgehammer Workouts
Click Play To See Sledgehammer Workout
Sledgehammer workouts are undoubtedly the #1 exercise/workout you can do to get rid of your love handles because…
- Sledgehammer workouts help you burn fat all over your body (including your love handles) plus…
- Sledgehammer workouts force you to twist a lot at the waist where your love handles or oblique muscles have to do a lot of work and…
- When you combine all the twisting from your waist that firms up your obliques along with all the fat you burn = You getting rid of your love handles & getting a slimmer waistline with just 1 exercise and…
If you do not have a sledgehammer you can use a broomstick or a baseball bat instead and To really get rid of your love handles doing sledgehammer workouts…
Just do up to SIX 10-to-30 minute sledgehammer workouts per week.
2. Overhead Sidebend With Broomstick
Click Play To See Overhead Side bend
- You can do the workout in the video above that starts at the 1:18 mark 1-to-2 times per day 2-to-4 days per week or…
- You could simply do 2-to-4 sets of 8-to-12 reps on each side 2-to-4 days per week but once the broomstick gets too easy…
- Use lighter 2-to-5 pound dumbbells instead.
3. Wood chop
Click Play To See Wood chop
When you're doing the wood chop exercise it's very important that you initiate the movement from your waist (your oblique muscles) and you want to use your upper body as little as possible so if you ever catch yourself bending your arms way too much as you twist to complete the wood chop…
Then that's a sign that you are using too much weight making your love handle/oblique workout ineffective now on the other hand… it's okay to slightly bend your elbows as you are doing the wood chop but to get a better workout…
- Make sure you only do up to 4 sets of 8-to-15 reps at a time and use light-to-moderate weights that are heavy enough to challenge you for 8-to-15 reps so…
- If you do over 15 reps that means the weight is too light and…
- If you can't do 6-to-8 reps then usually that means the weight is so heavy you have to use your upper body to help you complete the movement &…
- You can do this exercise up to 4 times per week.
4. Tae-Bo Love Handle Exercise
This is an exercise that I borrowed from Billy Blank's Tae-Bo
- You can do this exercise for 2-to-4 sets of 10-to-20 reps on each side at least 2-to-3 times a week and as it gets easier…
- Try to squeeze your love handles (or oblique muscles) hard on each rep for 2-to-3 seconds & even if you do that…
- Eventually you're going to have to do the other 3 love handle exercises on this page to get a good love handle workout but…
- Just like doing a full sledgehammer workout - If you do a full tae-bo workout you'll be burning off your love handle fat while firming up your obliques at the same time.
Now Here's the honest truth about getting rid of your love handles…
With the exception of doing a sledgehammer or tae-bo workout…
There really is not ONE Magical exercise that will get rid of JUST love handles on its on because To truly get rid of love handles…
- You'll need to go on a fat loss plan where you lose weight all over your body (including belly and love handle fat) and as a matter of fact…
- There is no such thing as a "love handle" exercise because you can't tone, firm or exercise fat so…
- The name of this article should have been called "the 4 best oblique exercises" &…
Doing those oblique or love handle exercises may help your waistline look slimmer as you firm up your obliques but you're going to still have to lose weight all over your body to truly get the slim waistline you want so…
When can you expect to get rid of your love handles…
The answer to that depends on how overweight you are and you can generally expect to lose 10 pounds every 4-to-6 weeks on a solid weight loss plan so generally speaking…
You could be looking at 4 weeks up to 6 months to get rid of your love handles completely and you also need to remember that your belly fat is usually last to go so…
As you are losing your arm, face, hip & thigh fat don't be discouraged and keep doing what're doing to lose weight as your belly/love handle fat will also eventually be burned off.

How to lose belly fat
How to get a flatter stomach in a weekHello Adrian,
First of all, thanks for putting up this great website! It has been a week since I started using your website workouts. I must say that your reasoning behind morning workouts to speed up metabolism is so true. Since I started working out in the morning, my metabolism has increased tremendously. I had a question about the "Overhead Sidebend With Broomstick". I am a bit confused about the reps that are to be performed. So in your video you did 2 on either side, followed by 4 on either side, 6 on either side and finally 8 on each side. Was this a one single set of 8 reps that you showed in the video. So I can perform 2 to 4 sets per week to shed my love handle fat.
Thanks,
Reena

the video is just one of many variations you can do but in general... you want to do 2-to-4 sets of 8-to-20 reps EACH SIDE

Hello Adrian I 45 years young I've had 4 children I'm 5'2" and 110lbs. I just want to tighten, tone, firm and lift like get rid of the little tiny belly pooch, loose 1 inch of love handless, get rid of the flabby arms I'm beginning to get, and get a perky tighter bigger butt and get back the boobs I lost from nursing the babes. I have put together a program from your exercises for all of these areas but I don't really need to loose any weight so how can I maintain my weight and still achieve the results I desire.

hello, i'm 15 years old, am 5foot 4 and weigh around 140 pounds. i really want to get down to 120 pounds by the end of may, so i slim for summer. my love handles are pretty big and i want a tighter stomach, also my thighs are heretically big. any suggestions??
March 26, 2013
I am 20 years old, 5'7", and 176. I started at 192 almost 2 months ago. I am striving to look perfect in my two piece at the beach which is now only 3 weeks away. I am doing everything. I exercise everyday, alternating between 1 hour and 30 min workout days. I love to exercise and always have. I do 30 min cardio everyday. On my hour days, i add in 30 minutes of strength training with your workouts for bigger butt and firmer arms. I increase reps or weights everyday. I only eat like 700 calories a day of lean cuisines .and grain bars. I drink 5 bottles(16.9oz) of water a day. I feel great and lmy body looks great, all except the love handles! My stomache is flat, my butt has always been big, but now its more toned and lifted. My breast have always been big but they are starting to lift. My thighs are toned. I used to weight train do my arm muscels are already big and im starting to tone them up more. Why are the love handles stillhere though? How can i get rid of them in 3 weeks, im ready for what ever challange!
March 19, 2013
they may not go away in 3 weeks because usually as you lose weight your belly and love handle fat are the last to go so hang in there and keep on losing and then finally your last 10 pounds will come from your belly

what are exercises that i can do at my home. i don't have any machines my age is 17 years and 11 months my weight is 59 kg
March 07, 2013
Hi Adrian,
I just found your website and love it. I am 35 and had a c-section almost 3 years ago. I am not overweight and if anything, I don't eat enough calories throughout the day, so my situation is not the average one. I am 5'11" and weigh about 150 lbs. My goal is to lose the pooch around my stomach and my love handles (never lost from the pregnancy). Since I am already a nice weight for my height, I don't want to lose too much weight from other areas of my body. What do you suggest?
Thank you so much,
Emily

I fractured 2 vertebrae in my spine 6 years ago and have scoliocis in my spine and a screw in my left knee. My gp forbids me to do any real exercise beside swimming. I make an effort to eat right but in spite of everything I am still not able to lose the weight I gained since my injury 6 years ago. Any advice on light exercise or anything that would help me? I am 25 and work fulltime so it's difficult to get to a swimming pool often. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

My name is Hannah, I am 22 years old, 5'8" and I weigh 140lbs. How much fat is it healthy for me to have on my body? I used to be super skinny and I do not know if I actually need to lose weight or if I am now at an "adult" weight.
September 11, 2012
Hi Adrian,
I had a look at your workouts and I am really impressed. I will start working out right away. My question is, can I do all four of these like in a collection of exercise or should I just follow one of them?
Here are my details : 6"1 - 109kg. I recently lost 10 kgs thanks to my diet and walking. Do you recommend anything specific? And if you can give me any idea, how long this would take? That would be awesome!
Thanks Adrian.
September 05, 2012
no need to do all 4 in 1 day because the main thing to lose love handles is diet and exercise

Okay so I'm seventeen and I really want to lose about 10-15 pounds, especially my belly fat. I understand that you have to lose weight all over your body, and that's what I've been trying to do for two weeks. I'm 4'11 and 120 pounds. I can't go to a gym, so I've just been doing crunches, running, and lifting weights twice a day. I really just want to get to about 95-100 pounds, and I've recently started eating healthy again. Please help!! I want to lose this weight and be a nice shape by the end of the summer as I have a pretty hectic work schedule during the year!
July 22, 2012
hey kai, im 16 years old, and i also wanted to lose about 15-20 pounds. i did every diet and workout and it would take months for anything to work. I started the 17 day diet about two weeks ago and im down 11 pounds. It's the easiest diet plan i've ever done, and it only requires jogging or walking 20 minutes a day. I reccomend it , especially if you dont have alot of time left. You could easily be down 15 pounds in 2 and a half weeks! :)
July 27, 2012
Where can I find the diet?
July 28, 2012
Any store has it, theres a book on it. Its called the 17 day diet by Dr. Mike Moreno. I got mine at Walmart.
July 28, 2012
Ok thanks
July 28, 2012
