5 easy exercises of get rid of your love handles
Since
the fat of love handles sits on the sides of the stomach, getting rid
of it could be pretty challenging. Love handles lie on top of the
obliques and require an altogether different set of exercises to shed.
Being at home and spending most of the time sitting and working might
lead to more fat deposition on them. In order to melt your love handles
and get a sculpted waistline, there are some exercises which can be
easily done, while you are at home.
Triangle pose
Basic
twist and turns are what will help in reducing the fat deposited on
your sides. In order to do this stretch, just stand with both your legs
shoulder apart. Now stretch your arms on both the sides. Inhale and
slowly bend your body sideways and touch your left toe with your left
hand. Your right hand should be in the air and stretched upwards. Make
sure your left and right arm form a straight line, starting from the
ground. Keep your neck towards the left side. Slowly get back into
normal position and repeat it on the other side.
Russian twists
Probably
the most effective exercise to lose love handles is Russian twists.
Just sit with your legs stretched in front of your and arms joined ahead
of you. Now lift up your legs so that they are not touching the ground.
Now twist your torso from side to side along with your hands, without
letting your feet touch the ground. This will help in melting the fat
deposited on your love handles in no time.
Crab kick
Another
exercise to get your waist and abdomen muscles moving is the crab kick
exercise. Sit on the mat and bend your knees. Keep your feet together
and your hands behind your back with fingers facing backwards. Now
slowly push your hips upward and kick your right leg up. Switch your
legs one by one and keep kicking. Make sure your hips do not touch the
ground during the exercise. Continue for 30 seconds and repeat it 3-4
times.
One hand toe touch
A
very simple yet effective sitting exercise, which will help you in
getting rid of love handles in no time is this. Just sit and fold on of
your left leg inwards and stretch the right one ahead of you. Now use
your right hand to touch the toe of your right foot. Hold the position
for at least 10 seconds and repeat 3-4 times. This will help in
stretching the muscles of your waist, as well the side muscles of your
abdomen.
Bicycle crunches
For
those who are looking out for quick ways to reduce love handles, try
including this exercise in your daily routine. Just lie down flat on
your back and pull your leg inwards with folded knees and place your
hands below your head. Now lift your right leg and try touching your
right knee with the left elbow. Make sure you lift your upper body while
doing so. Ease back to resting position and repeat the same with the
other leg.
