Get Rid Love Handles With Side Abs Exercises

If you like to wear low waist jeans, you should be aware of your love handles! Many women have problem with love handles. Tons of fat cover the waist, spill out of your jeans waist, is absolutely not a nice view everyone expect to see from a woman. With junk foods, instant life, and spending hours sitting on the desk, have contributed to build fat around your abs and side abs. While crunching and sit up can effectively help you toning your abs, side abs on the other hand, used to be forgotten by most women. Learn how these side abs exercises can give you a slim waist free from flabby fat!

Unlike sit ups, these side abs exercises are more simple to perform. They do not need sit up bench nor exercise mat, and they can be done everywhere. You can even watch TV while doing it. 10-15 lbs dumbbell is all you need!

To optimize your exercises, stick to these rules,

Although most of the exercises use dumbbell, they do not affected by gravity. Therefore, you must make sure to lock your side abs muscles in performing every exercise.
Add one second on the last positions, to maximize your side abs muscles in doing the contraction.
Have all the exercises in a very slowly and controlled way.

Get ready now?

Do 10 repetitions, and do the same with your right side.
(Note: Make sure to lock your hip position, or otherwise the exercise won’t be effective, and tend to cause overstretching in your waist).

If you do the exercises by following my guide carefully, you will see the difference in about 3 months. Of course, I don’t need to remind you again that fat burning exercises such as aerobics, and re-arranging your metabolism in a healthy diet is a must, before planning of toning your body.
