Get rid of love handles

Love handles are a common expression used to describe the areas of excess fat on the hip/flank area.

Love handles may be caused by:

– Genetics
– Sedentary lifestyle and carb-heavy diet
– Side effect of some medications that make weight loss difficult

It’s a common misconception that abdominal exercises like planks and crunches specifically target and eliminate love handles. This is called “spot reduction” and much research has shown it to be false. Instead, your body eliminates fat based on your own unique genetic makeup.
Abdominal exercises can increase muscle strength and tone, making fat deposits less noticeable, they can’t actually get rid of love handle fat.
