Love Handle Exercises: Strategy 1 - Side Bends

Love Handle Exercises: Strategy 1 - Side Bends

As part of your love handle exercises strategy, Side Bends are brilliant for conditioning the side of your waist called the obliques. I often do 70-100 of them side to side about 2-3 times a week and have noticed a definite decreasing in size and feeling that this exercise is very effective in getting results.

This exercise will get you huffing and puffing too, in a moderate way, if you do them quickly.
Flexibility and strength of the abdominal area will be your reward for repeated doses of this great love handle exercise.

How to perform effectively the Side Bend

The starting phase is to start with your feet shoulder width apart in a comfortable stance.

Then raise your right arm straight up so that your bicep is virtually touching on your ear.

Bend as far as possible to the left side in extreme fashion so that one arm is reaching way down past the side of your leg to the calf region and the right arm stays upwards close to your ear.

As you get this stretch as far as possible, rock back and forward once just a couple of inches before retracting back and changing sides as quickly as possible.

Go side from side and repeat this exercise for 50 - 120 times. Each time go for more repetitions and beat your best.

If you do this in fast (but effective) fashion, you will also get some aerobic benefit. This love handle exercise routine dictates normal breathing whilst taking part.

Whilst undertaking any love handle exercises, it is critical to see yourself in your minds eye (as thin and fit) and feel how good it is to be this way (even if you are not in reality). Visualizing your future success now is an important mind technique that will add fuel to your routine.

Do this Love Handle Exercises strategy stand alone or with any other fitness routine but for best results do it effectively without loss of form.

Good luck and get cracking. Only applied action ever gets results.
