is there any way to tone your love handles?

Aha! A question I actually have an answer for. What has worked for me, besides lots and lots and lots of cardio, is try to target all the muscles near the area, mainly, lower back and the sides of your abs. I go to a gym which has machines that target these areas but I bet you could get good results doing exercises at home on a ball or doing floor exercises. Remember, building muscle will help you burn more calories and make your workouts more effective too!

Try Pilates. They just tone the tummy and the thigh area. Plus you get the body of a dancer, lean and tall. rather then bulking up with heavy muscle.

It is not possible to spot reduce. By doing exercises to tone the muscle of these areas you will not lose the fat. However muscle burns fat very quicky. Try a hi cardio routine workout with some toning and strength exercises. These will work together to thin the fat all over your body, increase fat burning and make you look nice and toned

If you have 'dumbells', [if you dont go buy some, awfully cheap] take 2 of them (same weight) and lift them slowly up and down as ur running. Itll def. give it tone! DEFINATLY. If you want to get ur abs done to my sister did this and ITS AWESOME! If you have OnDemand go to ExcerciseTV and they got some great workouts. if not that turbojam stuff really REALLY WORKS! MY body is like BOO YAH! bcuz of it! lol

a serious answer from TOUCHY.\n\ncardio and toning (firming) exercises is best. by toning, i mean using light weight or your own body weight in doing squats, lunges, etc. you may have heavy thighs due to genetics. can't do much if this is the case.

Walk to tone the legs but keep at a low pace so you don't bulk it.  Or you can do pilates or yoga to extend your muscles giving you a toned, (not scrawny or bulky) physique.

Wow- you are tiny- are you sure you want to lose more weight? I would suggest working out- lots of weight machines will help you tone these areas. For your stomach, use a Roman chair- it works wonders.

there is no quick and easy way....exercise and eat well. There are plenty of free websites that show exercises. try shape.com or self.com

hmmmm good one, ok those love handles, right on the lower part of your back near the sacrial area are the most difficult to get rid of, why because there is no real exercise to target them.   \nBut you could do back exercises to strengthen your lower back muscles which in turn-cause they are generally connected tone up those a bit to. \n2 sit ups but the ones where you twist, ex: on back sit up and touch left elbow to right knee.  Also some yoga asanas would help target those problems like cobra and locust---but you don't want to strain your back so make sure you are doing them right----find a teacher in your area---or Pilates. If you do cardio you tend to lose a little bit everywhere.. Lipo is the only last resort I could think of.

Try working out.  And use weights to tone the curves you want to shape-up.

Bench pressing is an ego thing. To get "toned" just lift. Push day one... Pull day two... repeat do 15 to 20 reps and 5 to 6 sets  and "don't sweat the weights"

Jogging and powerwalking will help you lose fat everywhere, in general.  However, to really tone up your arms, you need to do some tricep exercises.  An easy way to do this at home: sit in a hard chair with your hands on edge of the chair, lift yourself up and slide forward even with the chair (supporting yourself with your arms) and your knees at a 90degree angle with floor; lift yourself up and down with your arms.  Otherwise you can go to a gym or research on web about other tricep exercises.

There 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. \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\nAnother overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. 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

try exercises that concentrate on the muscles of the sides.  like stand with arms to sides, weights in hands, bend over to right then to left, repeat, repeat, repeat.  also, twist/rotate at waist.  if you can feel the "pull" at the sides muscles you're toning them.  hope you make it!  I'm pullin' for ya!

No, honestly sit-ups don't tone your stomach muscles.  It will take a long time to see results if you only do sit-up.  Try jogging for about 10-15 at least 3 times a weeks.  Now that's a very effective way to tone your mid-section! : )
