Exercises to get rid of love handles!

Now, even though my diet recommendations are to eat a clean diet, free from processed foods, wheat, and sugar, there is one more way to gain a caloric advantage before you workout.

I was skeptical at first, but exercising in a fasted state really increased my fat burning potential. Time and time again, I keep hearing about how morning exercise is the best way to burn fat, but I never really heard a good reason why. It is because our body is in a fasted state!

Just like a car, out body needs fuel to produce energy that is required to perform any task. We can fuel our car, for example, with a number of different things. There are different kinds of fuels for both us and our cars; we have protein, fat, or carbs. If all things were equal, our cars would prefer premium gasoline, just like our body is designed to access its preferred fuel from carbohydrates. What we forget is that our cars will still run perfectly fine on bronze fuel, and our bodies will still be able to perform when accessing fat for fuel. The bonus for us is that there is a huge incentive to burn fat! If we want to look better and get a lower body fat percentage, we want to burn the fat off our bodies. If we rid our body of readily available carbohydrates, our bodies down regulate and select fat as its fuel source. A lot of people won't consider this particular strategy because they don't know about it. I was skeptical too, but I have implemented this strategy into my program and it really works wonders.

When I think back to some of the abdominal equipment I've used in the past I can't help but laugh. When picking exercises for get rid of love handles, think beyond abdominal routines alone. Getting rid of love handles is as simple as using these three exercises.

1. HIITS Cardio Training:

If you have never heard of high intensity interval training then look it up, this technique is saving people so much time and giving them the look they want. Essentials

Complete and exercise using timed intervals
Work hard during these intervals, then rest a bit
The more fat you want to burn the more intense your effort should be and the shorter your rest period should be
This sort of HIITS routine is for someone who wants to get rid of fat quick
Treadmill or road sprints - spend 30 seconds sprinting far, then walk for thirty seconds, doing this for 12 minutes tops

*it doesn't sound that difficult, until you try it Good LUCK!*

Try to get effective exercises if you want to work on your abdominals.

2. Hanging Leg Raises

Your abs will put forth the effort in these. It is possible to use other muscles to aid in the work we do with crunches and situps. However, hanging leg raises makes us dependent entirely on our abdominal muscles to pull us through. A lot of people are worried that it might be too much to handle for a regular person, but you can absolutely work on this movement with a few variations.

3. The Best Most Efficient Exercise Is the Plank

The plank exercise is a great abdominal exercise engages all abdominal muscles while simultaneously work the antagonistic muscles of the lower back. This exercise effectively works what we now refer to as the "core".

Correct Plank Technique

Get into push up position
Lay on your elbows in lieu of holding yourself up with your hands
Make sure you maintain a straight line from your head to your toes
Hold your body up over the ground, just touching it with your toes, forearms, hands and elbows and nothing else
Once you are able to do a plank for a minute straight, enhance the exercise with several variations.
