When you start observing those love handles around your waist, you know you are getting overweight. Love handles are the first signs of obesity. A bit overweight with a little bulge in the midsection is fine but love handles are a sure sign of you getting overweight.

What are love handles?

Love handles are considered the excess fat to the right and left of your tummy that gives you that asymmetrical shape. The expression comes from the fact that you can almost grab a hold of this extra fat as a “handle” during love making.

It may “sound” good, but it’s incredibly bad and very uninviting.

Here are 3 exercises to help you get rid of your love handles.

1. Dumbbell Side Pull Up

Hold an appropriate weight dumbbell in one hand to your side, stand straight facing a mirror or wall in front of you. Now, drop to the side the weight is on. Keep your shoulders straight towards the front. Just drop to the side.

Now, pull UP (the weight provides some resistance).

Do at least 3 sets of 12, increase the weight with each set. This workout directly exercises your “love handle” area.

2. Sideways Sit-up

This is when you lay down on your back but instead of arching your knees straight up, your turn your upper body to a side and arch your knees on the floor. Now, you put your arms/hands behind your head and pull yourself up at the abdomen.

Do it on both the sides and do as many as you can.

3. Dumbbell Side To Side

Grab a dumbbell with both hands and hold it out in-front of your chest. Now, slowly swing from side to side, but keep your torso and hips straight with the wall/mirror in front of you.

It works your upper back, not only works your torso and side of your stomach.

Don’t ignore your abdomen area, especially the area of your love handles. There are many more easy tips you can use right away to start getting healthier by dropping the belly fat!
