5 Little Known Exercises To Help You Lose Your Love Handles In Four Weeks!

Yes, you can lose your love handles in four weeks, maybe even sooner. It just depends on how much effort you put into it and how much you have to lose.

Let us take a look at the basics. Losing your love handles is all about reducing your overall body fat percentage. Men who have 10% or less can see their ab muscles, for women it is 16% or less. To lose a pound of fat you must burn 3,500 calories. Now, most people resort to cardio exercises to burn fat. This is alright but not the best. That is because you can burn 500 calories by running a few miles and still be left with 3,000 calories to go. That is not going to lose your love handles in a month.

The way to do it is to start doing compound weight lifting exercises that work multiple muscle groups at the same time in a wide range of motion. These are exercises such as the clean and jerk, pull ups, bench press, squats, dead lifts and others. The benefits of these exercises are twofold. They build muscle which weighs more than fat and consequently requires your body to work harder and burn more fat all day long. They also cause you to exert so much effort that you will burn calories at a higher rate long after the exercise is over.

Now, to really increase your fat burning ability do the exercises with a kettlebell which looks like a cannonball with a handle. Because of the wide range of motion it allows you, you will be able to burn up to 20 calories a minute and lose up to 1% body fat in a week.

Here are the 5 little known exercises to help you lose your love handles in 4 weeks.

1.The kettlebell swing. Using 1 hand or 2 swing the KB between your legs thrusting out with your hips. This will not only work the muscles of your core, the hips, back and abs, it will really burn the fat all over your body.
2.The cross over clean and press. Starting with a KB along the outer side of your foot, squat down and reaching down with the opposite hand lift the KB high over your head. This will really work the obliques, the muscles your love handles are hiding.
3.The figure 8. Simply pass a KB from hand to hand between your legs. When you pass from one hand to another stand up and lift the KB to your chest before bending down and starting over again.
4.Renegade rows. Start out in the push up position with your hands resting on the KBs. Now lift one KB up in a rowing motion one arm at a time. This is a great exercise because your abs must stabilize your body as you do the exercise.
5.Halos. Simply grab the KB by the horns of the handle with the bottom pointing up and rotate it around your head in one direction followed by another direction. It may not look like it is doing much but you will be winded and, again, your abs must stabilize you in the exercise.
