My waist size is dropping and obviously my weight, but these damn love handles don't want to budge. I'm starting to get frustrated. My waist is around a 29, and my love handles are at least a 34! I do body combat twice a week (which is kicking, punching, jumping and a lot of lunges), I also do step class with a 6-8 inch step twice a week, yoga once a week, and plenty of walking my dog. I also do a core (abdomen) class, thinking that would help the buldge in that area, but no luck there either! Any advice for me? Thanks!

    "weighted side bends" and "side planks" are the ONLY things that seem to be working for me.....

    Do this video 3-5 times a week and see if it does anything?

    have you tried jillian michaels' 30 day shred? it's a 20 minute workout that i've found to be pretty effective. i'm halfway through the program and lost about 2.5 inches around my hips.

    to be honest, i would love to have a 34 inch hip! can't wait til i get closer to that :)
