What's a good workout to get rid of love handles?

For starters, don't do abdominal exercises as a way to "target" the body fat in your obliques.  Working the muscle beneath stored fat does NOTHING to the fat on top of the muscle.  In addition, crunches, sit-ups, side-bends, and other flexion-based exercises are a terrible way to work you abs in the first place.  They re-enforce terrible movement patterns, create chronically shortened muscles, don't train any functional strength that you'll actually be able to use in real life, and involve repetetive flexion of the spine which leads to degeneration of the vertabrae and discs over time.  Stick with functional, stability-based training like planks, side-planks, floor bridges, and compound lifts that force your abdominals to stabilize (like squats, unsupported rows, overhead pressing, single-leg work, etc.).  You'll be FAR better off.\n\nThe only way to lose that fat is to reduce your overall body fat percentage.  You have to clean-up your diet: \n1.  Eat every 2-4 hours throughout the day (starting with breakfast).\n2.  Get lean, complete protein with every meal.\n3.  Eat LOTS of green veggies and fruits.\n4.  Eat complex carbs early in the day and after exercise.\n5.  Eat healthy fats with the rest of your meals (yes, even a few hours from bedtime!).\n6.  Stay hydrated at all times.\n\nYou also need to lift weights a few times per week (fairly heavy), and perform regular cardio sessions (30-40 minutes is pretty good, 3+ times per week).\n\nThat's a pretty simplistic explanation, and is far from a comprehensive approach, but it should get you started.

First the weight; get a bathroom scale that shows your bodyfat. Weight is not important, the percentage of bodyfat you have IS.\n\nAerobics will get your bodyfat down, but you need to do some additonal exercises to get the stomach flat. Gravity is pulling your stomach muscles down, that is why you have the "love handles."\n\nLie on a floor, your kitchen is a good choice. Put your knees up, your feet up under the bottom of the kitchen counter cabinets. Put your arms across your upper chest. Raise your upper back 1/4 up off the floor. HOLD yourself up for 20 seconds. FEEL your abs tighten up and shake. Do every other day.\n\nDo not put your hands behind your head, do not go up any higher than 1/4 up off the floor. This exercise tightens up only the abs. If you go up any higher, your sides and back muscles are pulling you up. If you use your hands behind your head, you are pulling yourself up.

Try an hour of cardio a day (maybe skip one day a week). Pilates is excellent because it stretches and tones so you get that long lean look. I love pilates. Do crunches. I like 8 minute abs! (so cheesy but it works). Don't eat sugar for awhile too that will help alot.

Cardio exercises such as running, walking, cycling -- which burn fat overall -- can help.\n\nAlso do the full cycle of leg machines -- leg curls, leg extensions, leg press, and hip adduction and abduction.

You have to loose your overall body fat. There is no way you can loose body fat in any specific area of your body. The best way to loose fat is not cardio but weight training. \nAnd the best way to do loose fat with weight training is pick workouts that workout large areas of muscles, like the lunges, the squats or the bent rows.\nWhen the bigger muscle breaks, more is the metabolism, more is the fat of the body used up for the metabolism.\nAnd the fat in the waist is the "first to come and last to go" ... so if you loose your love handles, you probably have lost fat already all over the rest of the body.

The elliptical machine is best. I reduced my hips and thighs in a month (working out on the elliptical for 25-35 min, 3 times a week).

Consistency with an exercise program in which you do cardio 3 - 5 times per week (keeping hr around 120- if you are a beginner) for 20-40 minutes each time. And do weight training at least twice a week.  Also, watch what you eat.  \nUnfortunately, we cannot spot reduce; however, these things will help you lose fat over all - including your abdominal area!

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.

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.

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

There is an exercise called donkey kicks!  Get on all fours and kick your leg back extended all the way and then return leg to lower position, and also you can kick your legs sideways too.  It will tone your butt and also give you the curves that most women like. This trainer told my bestirred at the Gym about a year ago. and she looks Well let's just say I wouldn't mind you know....

Keep doing what you are doing, you will strech out and those love handles will disappear eventually.

Any cardio workout will help if you are trying to lose fat in that area.  Sit up, reverse sit ups, crunches, and rolling all help with sculpting that area.  (I know the rolling sounds silly, but it works all areas of your abs plus your back, which most people don't strengthen and then they have trouble later on.)  A hola hoop also works really well as does belly dancing.  Anything that makes you consentrate on hip movements will help.  My personal sugestion is to do whichever you desided until you can't anymore.  Do as many sit ups or whatever until you can't lift your head off the floor again.  Then rest a day and repeat.  I hope these help alittle.
