I know I don't frequent this board very much, but I got a question - what's the best way to work out the love handles? What do all you exercise buffs do to get nice obliques?

You're in the plastic surgery capital of the world, just do it!

I ain't spending my money on that mess

Overall cardio and diet is pretty much the only way. This helps - Multiple variations of situps - crunches, side to side crunches etc. Most of all, grab a broom stick, put it on your traps, wrap your arms around it and twist your torso side to side while standing. Do a boat load every day!!!

You may want to consider "good mornings", but they are risky!!

The greatest workout/trainer in the world will not erase lovehandles/belly unless you do the following things:

1) stop eating bread
2) stop eating pasta
3) stop eating rice
4) stop eating peanuts/beans
5) stop eating sugar

replace everything above with fruit and animal protein (NOT soy). If you do this for 80% of your meals you'll see your excess fat, esp in the stomach area disappear.

Love handles is just excess fat - end of story.

You need to do more cardiovascular exercise or areobic exercise
Some weight training would also be good
You need to clean up your diet removing as many saturates, sugars, high fatty and high cholestoral foods as possible
Clean up your lifestyle

First, it's impossible to lose fat from a specific area. Your body has to burn through its total fat together. So thinking there is an exercise to target your flanks (love handles) is a myth.

Secondly, you can do a hundred different kinds of sit ups every day of the week, but if you're not losing fat, it wont make a difference. Sit ups tone the muscle, if there's still fat on top, the muscle will just make the fat stick out more and look worse. We all, every person on the planet, has a six pack underneath, most of us just have some layer of fat on top.

Third, the body knows to store fat for emergency situations and other reasons. On women, it's their thighs. For men, you guessed it, it's our flanks (love handles). So, you could do tons of cardio, zero out your carbs, and lead a healthy and active lifestyle for years, and still not lose the fat on your love handles, as it is usually the last place the body stores fat for men. Having that said, some people have better genetics than others and may lose it more quickly. I, for example, can't seem to lose enough weight or tone my flanks enough to get rid of my love handles, but, I don't store weight in the front. So I've never had a "gut" or a "belly". In fact, even though there's a little fat on top, you can still see my abs poke through. My love handles on the other hand, are grotesque.

So, if you find that no matter how much cardio you do, or how well you maintain your diet you still have the pudge on the sides, sadly, you might need to turn to cosmetic surgery. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Like I said (and you can research it if you want to) the love handles are you usually the last place your body will store its fat resources. Most guys would have to get down to 0%-2% body fat to make them go away. So getting a little suction would be cheaper, easier, and quite frankly, healthier. Body fat percentages that low aren't good for you. So look into it. To do just your flanks would only cost around 2.5MKW - 3.5MKW. Not that much when you consider the benefits you'll have after.

0-2% bf is like competition bodybuilder levels, surely almost impossible for anyone else but a pro athlete and or fulltime bodybuilder..
