I fast walk while carrying three pound weights in each hand (You can buy them at any sporting good store).  Did the trick for me.

Well, there are two ways you could go about it: Cardio excersize or a cut in calories. Spot-reducing is a fallacy, so the only way to get rid of back fat and tone up is to work on your overall body fat, and the two ways to do this are cardio excersize or a cut in calories, or both. For starters, I'd reccomend doing whichever is easiest for you. If you are a natural born excersizer but just haven't done it in a while, pick that up again and when you hit a plateau, you can start to cut calories with the added motivation of your recent weight loss. If you hate excersize with a passion, cut all your meals in half and when you hit a plateau, walk or bike or do something low impact, and move up when you're ready. The proven thing that works is that which you DO.

Find a guy with bigger hands. J/K. leg lifts, squats, and brisk walking will tone it, a strict no fat diet will slim it down.

Cardio gets rid of the excessive fat. If you start doing sit ups or anything to strength your ab muscles without losing the fat first you will look heavier.

i think one simple answer if you want them to be toned plus burn calories/fat but not get too bulky of muscles:  walking.  simple, cheap, effective.  good luck :)

HA! I thought you were talking about the ones inside the turkey along with the giblets....DUH! \n\nAnyway, I do some exercises that I read about in Cosmopolitan, and they have worked wonders. One thing you can do is stretch your neck as far out and upward as you can. Repeat this whenever you think about it. Also, another good one (and this helps to prevent your facial cheeks from sagging is to silently mouth the letters A-E-I-O-U, making sure that you stretch your mouth like you are really annunciating each letter. It's best to do this in private, because you won't get funny looks from your kids or others!! LOL!) These simple exercises really do work, and make you look much younger if you do them faithfully! Luckily, my neck didn't show it very bad when I lost weight, because I started doing these exercises about 10 years ago. As you get older, your skin loses elasticity, and is much harder to tone. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the loose tummy skin. Do you have any ideas?????? Good luck with the neck exercises, though! :)

Try pilates type exercises...my daughter had a baby 3 months ago and is slowly getting back into shape using the pilates system...but realize that it takes time as well as exercise and diet changes to get the shape you want!  You need to consume less calories than what you burn as well as tone up the areas that have been stretched to their limits during the pregnancy!  Don't despair!  I have had 5 children...still have the love handles and earned every inch of them!

There are many things out there that you can use. A product my daughter uses works well at reducing the appearance of them. It's simply called "stretch mark cream." You can get it at Walmart. They say that mederma works well to reduce the appearance of them as well. \n\nAnything that you use is only going to reduce the appearance, but there is nothing to remove them completely. The only way to get rid of them completely is to have a tummy tuck, or other plastic surgery.

Wow, strange question.\n\nI'm not really sure there is a way to get rid of these.  If you aren't doing a particular exercise to build them, they're probably just part of your body structure, and you'll have to live with them.\n\nYou might try relaxing your shoulders more (if you generally hold your shoulders up in your posture, all tense-like).\n\nYou might also just give up and become a female body builder.  Just promise me you won't get all veiny and gross about it.

My favorite ab exercises are crunches and Roman chair.  Unlike most other muscles, abs can be worked every day.  Do make sure that you pull your abs tightly toward your spine when working them because the muscles will form in the position they are worked.  Fail to do this and they can form bulging out which is not attractive.\n\nThere is no site specific way of losing fat... the old myth about working your abs to burn belly fat isn't true. To get rid of love handles, you need to lose overall fat. That happens with exercise and watching your diet. More on that below. \n\nThe most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode. \n\nYou are welcome to look at my 360 Blog of September 10 for more detailed suggestions.\n\nAloha

do crunches and side crunches. That will work your stomach and your love handles.

I don't think you can. You can reduce the appearance of it by losing weight, but it's just the result of how your fat is deposited in your body. Unless you get plastic surgery.

Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.\n\nYou are welcome to look at my 360 Blog of September 10 for more detailed ideas.\n\nAloha

If you have a lot of excess skin the only way to get rid of it all is to have a tummy tuck!  or an arm lift or a face lift.. depending on where are all the extra skin is.  Liposuction does not take care of skin so don't even bother with that.  If you just have a little excess skin, go to the gym and just tone the areas.  In order to make the skin flatten a little bit more is by toning the muscles undeneath the skin.. but it will not all go away.  I had a baby and gained 70 lbs.  I lost it all, and I have a tiny bit of skin on my lower tummy, but I have been hitting the gym hard and i've toned up a lot of it, but there is just a little bit I will never be able to get rid of unless I have a tummy tuck... but it's not bad enough to have that!  I am happy by just toning the muscles underneath.. it makes a HUGE difference!  Good Luck!

These 2 exercises concentrate on your "love handles". Do them 3x each. 1 stand upright, legs apart (shoulder wide) hands straight up both holding a broom or rod, now lean as far to one side and back .Do that 15x and then do it the other way.2 Sit down with your knees half drawn up (depending on your fitness) Hold your arms straight to one side( preferably holding a weight) now rotate your arms with the weight 50degrees and back slowly.Repeat15x.
