The best exercise for love handles isn’t side bends, like most people would probably think since they build the most resistance for your sides.  Actually to make almost any exercise more effective, you just add resistance, that way you force your body to do more work at the same time. You should also supplement your effort by incorporating calorie shifting for total body weight loss.

So how do you go about adding resistance? Simple, take crunches for example (which are better than regular situps), you can do regular crunches and experience regular resistance, but if you add a 5 pound weight to your hands and rest that weight on your chest as you do the crunches, you will notice a lot more muscle contraction in your core area.

So what is the best exercise for love handles after adding resistance? That’s really up to you, pick a workout you enjoy doing and just add resistance, I like the russian v-twist.  Take a 5-8 pound medicine ball, sit on your bottom with knees bent to make a v, and move the medicine ball from side to side in a consistent motion, this makes your love handles burn and stimulates weight loss. This is one of the ways how to get six pack abs.

I like to do about 30 repetitions of that exercise and about 4 sets, you don’t want to overdo it if you don’t workout your core that much, you can start wherever you are comfortable. Another great exercise to get rid of those love handles and build a leaner body is one where you need a partner. Lay on your back with your head between your partners’ feet and have him/her swing your legs down, preferably diagonally so that you can workout your sides to help burn off those love handles.

These are great because there is no stress put on your back since you are laying down.  Some say this is the best exercise for love handles because it requires a second person and is the least painful with impressive results.
