An excess build of fatty deposits as mentioned above are a sign of excess fat around the abdomen & waist - the love handles as they are commonly known by millions! Although everyone is different and may accumulate fat on different areas of the body, abdominal weight gain is particularly stubborn to lose and is a concern because if not dealt with, it can lead to metabolic problems, serious heart disease and bring about the onset of diabetes.
A common mistake people make is only targeting the abdominal fat - getting rid of love handles requires not just concentrated effort on one area but reducing fat overall in the body. If you look at the 'big picture' of weight loss in general and focus on diet & exercise, then it will be much easier to target the abdomen and reduce the waistline if that's where your problem area is.
The three main areas to help you burn fat faster are:
1. Strength training - burn calories faster will help you increase your lean muscle mass.
2. Cardiovascular training - this type of training will get rid of existing fat faster
3. Diet - eating a balanced, healthy diet that is calorie controlled will prevent your body from storing the calories as fat should they not be 'burned off' during exercise.
By doing all three of the above together, you will lose your excess weight, including getting rid of love handles - that's a fact!
Other areas that you can look at in your quest for a trimmer tummy are:
Building Stronger Oblique Muscles
The commonly named '6-pack' muscles are framed either side of your abdomen by oblique muscles; these give our bodies the strength to turn or twist when required but when love handles are present, they become hidden and weakened. To burn more calories, the oblique's need to be built up to strengthen them - getting rid of love handles will help you to show off your firmer, trimmer stomach. Building stronger oblique's will help you burn more calories, and will give you tight abdominal muscles to show off after the love handles are gone. There are many types of exercises that you can do for getting rid of love handles.
