Hit those love handles hard with this exercise.

The following article shows you a great exercise for hitting a certain area of your abs, which are known as the Obliques. These are located to the side of your abs and are often referred to as the love handles! This exercise also works the lower back area too so you get more bang for your buck!

Let me stress that this is toning the muscle in that area, you still eat and drink sensibly and introduce some cardio exercises such as brisk walking, swimming or running into your routine to burn off the body fat that is covering those muscles. However, if you are eating well then this exercise will soon start to see you reducting your love handles, so please do try it.

As always a set of dumbbells would be perfect for this exercise, failing that some evenly balanced tins of food or bottles of water will be a great substitute.

The Method

* Stand upright, looking straight ahead, shoulders back and feet shoulder width apart.

* Have a dumbbell in each hand with your arms straight down your sides.

* Keep your abdominals tight and tense but remember to breathe all the way through the exercise. You're now ready to start hitting those love handles!

* Slowly bend to the left, keeping your feet firmly on the floor.

* Make sure that the movement comes from the waist only. So you shouldn't be moving your knees or hips.

* The bending movement should only be to the side so don't bend forwards or backwards. This will make sure your targeting the right area.

* Keep bending until you reach a point where you can't bend anymore, pause briefly and return to the start position.

* You're now back in the upright position, so you need to repeat the process but on the opposite side and maintaining a controlled movement. This will ensure that you continue to carry out the technique correctly and safely.

* Well done you've just completed a side bend!

* Repeat for 3 sets, with 5-6 bends per side.

Not only is this a great exercise for muscle tone it also builds strength in the Oblique area, which is used in any twisting or bending movements that you may do during whilst carrying out everyday tasks. So it's a great functional exercise and one that could save injuries.

I hope you enjoy this exercise. As with all exercises, they work better the more regularly you do them, so please try and build it into your weekly schedule.
