    diet and exercise. You can't spot reduce. I suggest you do some strength training and cardio as you'll see much more benefits than just doing one.

    If you work out and perform strength training, you will build the muscles, but the fat will still be there. So sadly, you bust eat very well and exercise. Once the fat come off, so will the handles.

    because its the area you want to lose fastest, it will probably be the area you lose last. lol, thats just how weight loss works.

    unfortunately theres no exercise that can spot-reduce your belly. you need to do a cardio plus strength training exercise to melt that love handles. sit-ups can tone your ab muscles but you'll still having those belly fat if you don't do aerobics to burn it off.

    I have been doing insanity and have seen a big difference in my love handles area it is all about the core and interval training. I have no other word to use than to describe it as insane! lol :bigsmile:
