Use lighter 2-to-5 pound dumbbells instead.

3. 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 that I found to be a very good love handle exercise &…

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…

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.

I'm 15, female, and weigh 132 pounds. I'm 5'2 and I work out after school for two hours with my swim team. I have really bad love-handles and no matter how much I work out I can't seem to lose them. I keep a pretty healthy diet also but I never seem to lose weight. Help, please?

Stand with you one foot slightly ahead and lean forward. Bring your arm as close to you as possible, then move on and backwards holding your hand closed. Repeat the other side
