  • Cardiovascular workouts are the best bet. In order to reduce the amount of fat you have, which are the contributing factor to your unhuge love handles, you need to burn off fat. However, due to the way in which the body metabloises food and processes it for energy, you need to perform cardio for about 15-20 mins before the fat stores are mobilised and used up to any significant degree. So, try running/jogging/rowing/cycling etc for about 30-40 mins. After this point, you begin to burn up your body protein as well, which isn't too bad if you aren't trying to build muscle, but since muscle burns calories even whilst at rest, it is a good idea to miantain a good degree of lean body mass. To increase the positive effects of your exercise, try doing it as interval training - this menas that although you are exercising constanly for a period of time, your intensity changes. So, if you are jogging, do 5 mins at a higher pace that really challenges you, then drop back to a pace that you can maintain for longer whilst keeping your heart rate up. Keep this up throughout the time you exercise for, as it really makes the heart and lungs work harder and consequently the muscles involved in propulsion of your body and in breathing work harder, increasing the benefits of the workout. You should also keep the layer of muscle underneath firm by performing exercises such as bridges, crunches V shapes to ensure a firm tummy. BTW, bridges are performed on your tummy. Raise yourself off the ground so you are held up by the length of your forearms and your toes (kinda like a pressup position but using your whole forearms, not just your hands) and suck your tummy in so that your whole body forms one straight(ish) line. Try it with a mirror handy to keep that line straight. Hold this for ~30 secs. Then rest, and repeat 4 more times. Eventually, extend each one to 45 secs, then a minute. You can also do this on your side, but this is much harder so hold it for shorter times. V shapes - lay on your back all stretched out with your arms stretched out as well, forming one long line. Raise your legs into the air, keeping your knees locked straight, to an angle of about 45 degrees. Then with your arms still extended, use your tummy muscles to pull your upper body up to ~ 45 degrees as well, forming a v shape, hold for 4 secs, then release. Repeat 9 more times.
