I Have been working out now for almost 3 months doing 30 minutes of cardio exercise on either the treadmill or an elliptical, and I make sure my heart rate is between 170 and 180 the whole time. I thought this would burn calories and I would lose my belly fat and my love handles...but alas, no success. Any tips??

    I have had the same issue for many years. The most effecient thing is to continue to burn fat, but also tone and build your muscles, in the problem area and all over your body. There are some fairly simple, low-impact, yoga-like exercises that will work those ever-important obliques, to help prevent fat from sticking to the muscles under the "love handles". Also toning the muscles in all of your back and core will help you stand up taller, making everything look more slim. Adding muscle all over will boost your metabolism, adding to the fat burn.

    Try some ab workouts. Jullian Michaels 30 Day Shred DVD includes cardio, strength, and abs. It's some good stuff!
