Exercise For Love Handles - Will It Hurt Bad?
June 26th 2009 -
Exercise for love handles, is it painful? Depends on what you do. It doesn’t have to be painful.
Why we call those chubby lumps at our sides ‘love handles’ is a mystery to me. There’s not a lot to love about them.
The correct term for them is ‘obliques’, as they are at an angle to our bodies. The term oblique means slanting, or at an angle.
In the fitness & health industry the standard advice starts with - eat healthily, exercise moderately, balanced diet - and all the other rubbish they spout.
We know what we should do but we need to get rid of these love handles the easy way, without the hard work. Is there a way?
Well, let me say this, yes it’s possible to eat like you are now and lose your love handles but it will take an enormous amount of work.
The problem is while you are hard at it exercising for your love handles, sweating yesterdays burgers off, today’s burgers are making their way slowly to your midriff.
If, and it’s a big if, you could stop with the all the bad food you wouldn’t have to do nearly as much exercise to maintain a great body.
It’s all about trade-off. How bad do you want to get rid of your love handles? Bad enough to change your lifestyle?
Or will you still eat like you do now and decide to do a lot more exercise. It’s your choice.
A popular exercise for love handles is side bends. You may need to do a few hundred a day to maintain your love handles and your current diet. Or only do a few dozen to keep the love handles flat if you make the lifestyle change.
You can see from the above example how it’s a trade off. Eating junk means more exercise, eating better means less exercise.
As a person, I’m lazy. I try to eat the best options, this way it keeps the exercise to a minimum. I still exercise for love handles but only to stop them appearing again.
To wrap it up, it will indeed hurt if you have to do masses of exercise for love handles. Far better to minimise the exercise by altering your lifestyle a bit.
