Is there any exercise that will get rid of lovehandles. I have been doing a lot of cardio, squats, lunges, everything I can think of, but nothing is getting rid of my stubborn lovehandles!! I want them gone!!!

Any ideas???

    You could try Jillian Michaels' No More Trouble Zones (something along those lines, can't remember the exact name.) It's a great workout!

    You can't spot reduce fat, but a good cardio/strength training routine will burn off the fat. I recommend Jillian Michaels' Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism. It burns and firms those areas :)

    I think its seriously funny how people lose weight. I've noticed everytime I have lost weight, I lose my chin/leg, then some lovehandle/leg, then some backfat/lovehandle, then I'll start losing on my arms. I don't really lose much belly ever. That's what I'm shooting for this time!

    Lovehandles are the worst for me. I have learned to try and target these areas, Jillian Micheals that was mentioned is a good one, so is sit ups to the side instead of the front. Also try hula hoop (I can only master this on the Wii...).

    Along with your cardio.....do planks!!! I found when I do a couple weeks of regular planks and especially side planks my muffin top goes away!!!

    For an extra challenge do side planks on a stability ball....ooh the burn!!!

    "Lovehandles" and most of your abdominal fat is going to go away with cardio and a very clean diet. Strength training also helps to build the muscle underneath so when you do get the fat off there is something pretty to look at! Also, women tend to hold water in the love handle area. If you feel like you've already got a clean eating diet and do enough cardiovascular activity, try drinking close to a gallon of water per day and see if that helps.
