Have you tried without fail to eliminate stomach fat and love handles with more and more sit-ups and other abdominal exercises? Do you eliminate them by completely eliminating fat from your diet? No, that won’t make it work.
Love handles and stomach fat are a fairly common concern among men, especially if you want to see your abs or simply reduce your chances of heart disease. Unfortunately, as we age, our metabolism begins to slow down and we end up storing excess fat around the waistline. Combine that with the fact that we become more sedentary as we age, it would seem like a surefire way to gain love handles, stomach fat, tummy fat, and even a spare tire. Okay, I think you get an idea of how we get love handles and excess belly fat, but how do we minimize it?
Unfortunately, spot reduction training doesn’t work, meaning you can’t target a specific area of your body, like your love handles, to lose fat. The fat stored in your body, no matter where it is, belongs to the whole body and therefore can only be reduced through a general routine of body exercises. The best way would be a combination of cardiovascular (aerobic) and weight training exercises, especially if you alternate them every other day. Obviously, there is no quick fix method for removing excess fat around the waist; not even all crunches and crunches will accomplish this. Ab exercises will only strengthen your abdomen, but will not magically burn the fat around your waist.
Common ways on how to lose stomach fat and love handles include:
- a) reduce sodium intake: helps water retention in the body
- b) drink lots of ice water – helps metabolize stored fat
- c) reduce alcohol intake: it contains many ’empty calories’
- d) eat healthy: lots of fresh vegetables and fruits
- e) Get regular exercise – why park nearby when you can walk?
Losing stomach fat and love handles will only happen over time, but it’s definitely worth the effort and time. Get all the free information and help to see your abs at Natural Weight Loss.
