    It only goes away as you lose and tighten up. Until then, bigger pants :tongue:

    Strength training, and diet (eating quality foods, not crap).

    Cardio obviously but I found core excercies and a little kickboxing tightens up the middle nicely...
    So do planks/pushups or plyometrics (jump training)

    Well, love handles are essentially fat. You need a combination of fat busting and core strengthening exercises. You can't spot reduce. But as your overall fat % decreases, your muffin top will reduce too. Just keep going at it!

    Planks are good. Swissball jackknives are good. And HIIT is good.

    I'm not much of a strength trainer and I know I should, but all I've been doing is running and I'm telling you it is all coming off the middle and some from the face and arms. I am happy to say it is working...

    Glad I'm not the only one with this battle! Increased cardio and core!

    Core strength training, especially abs work like crunches, reverse crunches, ball transfer, plank, leg lifts and lots of other tortures..... I mean exercises my trainer gives me.

    Screw cardio and find a Zombie to eat it.

    Seriously though...bust *kitten* in the gym.
  • do the Harley P sets of arm down at side with weight, other arm in a "salute" to you head. Bend down as far as you can go with weight, and then back the other way, trying to make elbow touch hip. Don't move lower half of torso. These really work!

    The secret is to "pop the top" and leave the stump.

    Saw a program on TV about anorexics and obese people, EVEN the super-skinny gals had muffin tops when they put on too-tight jeans! The anorexics interpreted this to mean they were too fat. The commentator pointed out that they were just wearing the wrong size jeans. (Of course, maybe the girls were "skinny fat" and needed to do some cardio, too!)
