I don’t have love handles but that’s because I know how to get rid of them. So listen and I’ll tell you the exercises to sort them out.

First some important info…

Quit Crunching

For starters doing a 100 crunches every morning won’t do you any good. All you’re training is the stamina of your abdominal muscles. That won’t do diddly squat for your love handles.

Sprinting or Other High Intensity

Get intense. If you’re not a fan of long distance running then start doing hill sprints. They don’t last as long so laziness should be less of an issue. You really don’t need to spend hours running. High intensity short bursts work just as well – even better!

Diet Matters

People have probably told you this and you’ve ignored it, but trust me – diet matters. You can do all the training in the world but if you’re eating shit you won’t shift love handles.

Ashtanga Yoga

There’s a movement in Ashtanga yoga called a ‘vintasa’. In all the time I’d done abs workouts I’d had little to no benefit. Then I tried some ashtanga and within 2 weeks I was seeing results. I’d recommend yoga as a good addition ot your workout.

Another resource I found incredibly helpful and actually put me on the right path to sorting out my belly was Mike Geary. He’s a doctor and a trainer with a hell of a lot of experience and practical science behind him.

If you want more detailed info on routines, methods and nutrition I can’t recommend highly enough a free report by Mike Geary on nutrition. The creator of Truth About Abs.
