Getting rid of love handles

[bdens12673]

I train pretty hard and frequently and eat well pretty much all the time but the one thing I can't seem to get rid of are my love handles. I don't have them on my sides really but in the back of the sides. I can't really see an exercise that can target that area. I think I would have to get really really thin to get rid of them but I just don't want to do that. I have a hard enough time keeping size on.

I've been thinking of trying yohimburn but not sure if it will help. I do cardio 3 -4 times a week for 25-30 minutes. Does anyone have any good exercises that will target fat loss in this area?

Thanks

There is no specific exercise that helps get rid of love handles. Spot reduction unfortunately is not possible. The body will shed fat in males there last. Diet and cardio is one part of the key.

Yohimburn is the other. The stuff really does work....especially if you are at a pretty low bodyfat already. How low of a bf percent are you? Yohimburn is best applied before you workout and after taking a shower and exfoliating.

Get your diet and cardio right before you do anything though.

Not sure of my BF, last time I had it done which was quite some time ago it was 9.5%, I know it's higher than that now but I really don't have much fat on me other than the love handle area. I think part of it is hereditary, my dad who is 6'5 and thin as a rail has them too. I don't like to use this as an excuse but I think it is partly true. I'm going to try the yohimburn and make some adjustments to my diet to see if it helps.

I would say dial in your diet and get rid of the handles and see what you look like with out them. Getting rid of fat and gaining muscle are part of the ebb and flow of the sport. I have always had the problem area like you. I hold all of my fat in my upper thigh and lower trunk. I've never wanted to sacrifice muscle size for a few pounds. However, I really want to see what is under my cushion. The leaner I get the more muscular I look. Duh, right. But it is amazing how we hold ourselves back with the things we tell ourselves. (excuses). Even if you lose a little muscle dieting all the way down you can adjust your cutting diet( clean ) by increasing the proper calories for you, to gain back your muscle and then some. Keeping a clean bulk will allow you to monitor where you are more acurately and you will have lees fat to shed next time. But patience and a journal is key and adjusting as needed. You are your own best source of info when it comes to your body. If you're paying attention.

You could do Mesotherapy on that one spot.
