What are some exercises to tone those love handles? (Isn't that what they call that roll between the underarm and the waist?)

    side crunches and lat pull downs will hand the target area you want to tone.

    False. You can not spot tone. You can lose overall fat reducing that area along with the other areas of fat on the body.

    I know what you are talking about,
    this is a belly dance exercise it helps strengthen gain control on the lats, the area between the armpits and the hips.

    Stand up straight shoulders low, feet shoulder width apart.
    make sure your pelvis is level with the ground (stick you butt up)
    Now do the twist.
    if you angle your pelvis downward it will effect your lower lats, while when it is level with the ground it effects your upper lats.

    You can do this while watching TV, or listening to music.
    Good luck!

    Cardio to reduce fat & strength & target training & to gain muscle…, It’s that simple. (Crunches are a muscle builder.)

    Love handles are those things on your sides between your bra line and your panty line (also called a muffin top when its over your pant line or is part of the belly "tire" when you have it all the way around like me... for now ^_^). Google the term and look at pictures and thats exactly what you get. And yes there are muscles under there that you can exercise to get ride of some of them. All of it is considered core training. You can do various types of crunches to work on them. I like working with the stability ball (just ordered one of my own!!) cause it is much more comfortable and you can do you stretches and everything at home watching TV or something.
