Can't Lose the Love Handles? Just Do THIS!!



If you can’t lose the love handles no matter how hard you’ve tried, then do exactly what is shown in this video and it will happen faster than you think. The key to getting rid of fat around the waist is to realize that it too, just like all body fat, is something that can be done with persistence and a few important strategies. While there is no such thing as love handle exercises or exercises to burn lower belly fat, there are things you can do in and out of the gym to see results much faster.

The first thing you have to do to get rid of fat around the waist or love handles is take a close look at how you’re eating. Nutrition is and always will be the number one priority when it comes to getting ripped and losing body fat. All too often, people want to skip this part of the equation because it is the one that is most difficult to stay consistent with, but it’s where all the difference matters.

Many people will turn to different kinds of diets in order to lose fat fast. The problem with most diets is that they are temporary solutions to a long term problem. And even when you follow the “rules” of the diet plan, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you are going to lose fat. For instance, if your keto plan has you avoiding carbs but you still wind up overeating significantly on fats and proteins and are unable to get to a hypo caloric state, you are not going to lose your love handles.

Similarly, if you are following a diet strategy like intermittent fasting as a way of losing the fat around the waistline, be advised that simply eating within the proper window does not guarantee success. Again, if you consume more calories than you are burning off you are not going to burn enough fat to get rid of that around your belly.

The second big nutrition mistake relates to the first and that is, even if you can do everything right with your nutrition but you quit too soon you likely will not see the results you’re looking for. Keep in mind that in men especially, waistline and lower belly fat is the last to go. This pertains to the low back as well. You will first start to see fat loss in the face and neck but only when you’ve been consistent for a long period of time will you see the love handles start to disappear.

Don’t give up too soon just because you don’t see the fat loss in the love handles. Realize that it’s coming, it just will take a bit more time.

As far as training goes, there are some things you can do to get rid of love handles faster. You need to be sure that as the fat loss occurs that the muscles underneath are developed and looking good which will give the appearance of a better looking waistline sooner. Here is where you want to be sure you’re not just doing traditional ab exercises.

Train your obliques.

People often say that doing oblique exercises will thicken your waistline. This isn’t the significant cause of why you have a thick waist, it’s the body fat laying over the top. So that said, be sure to include a healthy dose of rotational oblique exercises and even add in weighted exercises to be sure that you’re building the muscle and training it hard enough to make a difference in its appearance.

Here is where you want to be sure that you’re doing your ab exercises right. The bicycle crunch and russian twists are two moves that many people screw up when trying to train for a trim waistline. Don’t just flip your hands and elbows across your body but be sure to rotate as you do. Lock your hands or elbows in place and rotate your entire torso as you move to really etch in those deep oblique muscles.

Finally, don’t forget the broom stick twist. This classic oblique exercise is great for giving you high quality contractions of the obliques to make them pop out as you lose the love handle fat laying over the top of them.

  1. Question ❓

    My hips were spread apart when i was born so i walk like a duck and my balance is WAY off to do mason/Russian twists.

    If i take my resistance band, put it around my ankles to help me balance will that work

  2. Man this is so helpful. I lost nearly 50 lbs (female, 5'1"-5'2", went from 163 to 117 lbs). Everything else looks great but I can't get rid of these damn love handles and chonky inner thigh fat. 😅😆

  3. I like calling it nutrition, but I still like to recapture the word diet. We don't say a lion has a nutrition of meat, we say, it has a diet. I know it's a picayune point but I prefer to say good diet or bad diet, that is either a human is eating what is good and healthy for them, or they are eating crap. People shouldn't go on a diet, they should change their diet.

  4. Get a scale and weigh your food. Everyday you weigh it all out and eat only what you weigh is one day closer, everyday you don’t, it’s 3 days further away. It’s a miserable game changer.

  5. Great and helpful advice. I did several of these exercises. Most of them correctly but a few of them not so much. This video is truly helpful. Thanks! 😎

  6. Am I supposed to feel some burning sensation when I train the obliques properly? Every time I twist my whole body during the torso rotations or Russian twist, I don't necessarily feel any burning in that area.

  7. Thank you SOOOOO MUCH for point out this minor error which had MAJOR implications. The first thing that a trainer told me about the bicycle kicks was when I was bringing down one leg while the other one in a bent position, I wouldn't straighten out the leg going down. That was a HUGE difference once I started straightening it out. I really could feel the abs starting to work. And I could do 20 reps (10 per each elbow to knee touch).

    But then when I saw what you did with the twisting and then I tried it….I realized boy I was doing this wrong the WHOLE time. Now when I actually do the twisting of the core and keeping my elbows locked in position, now the burn is even MORE intense and now I can only 10 reps (5 per each elbow to knee touch). But I feel the burn 10xs more in the abs. Same applies also to the Russian twist with the ball (though I do it on a decline bench with my back lifted off and parallel to the ground). I too also noticed a difference there. I'll check out your website and look at the meal and workout plans and may try one out for the new year.

    P.S. – Great to see you were a strength coach for the NY Mets (Mets fan here) in NYC.

  8. no offense but you have never had love handles. You cannot show us how to lose them if you never had them. What I want to see is a guy with love handles that actually lost them. Stomach exercise certainly do not work.

  9. The point about doing rotational exercises without rotating properly is a really good one. This is especially true for athletic training for sports like baseball and golf that involve rotational mechanics. You can ruin your swing by doing rotational exercises in the gym improperly.

  10. what if i’m rather skinny but i still have love handles? i’m 158 and weigh 48 kgs, which is ideal and I’m afraid I’ll get way too skinny if i keep myself at a calorie deficit to lose them love handles.. quite confused

  11. About 7 yrs ago I got down to around 9%. My lower set of abs had a vein bulging out across them, still had fucking lower back love handles.

  12. The calorie in calorie out thought is a bit outdated. It depends on where your calories come from. Eating foods that minimally affect insulin is what matters. Keto is the way to go.

  13. Do you have just an ab routine I can buy? Just trying to get rid of those love handles and currently a little over a month on carnivore diet!
