How do I get rid of my “love handles”?

I’m looking for stomach exercises that are tailored for men. I want to tone and define my stomach muscles, and to get rid of my “love handles”. Regular sit ups only work the upper front abbs. What exercises are good for sculpting the sides of my waist?

Lie on your right side and lift your left leg until you feel you have done enough. Then turn over to your left side and lift the right leg. Keep increasing the number of lifts each day until you reach the point of knowing what it takes to get a good workout suitable for your frame and weight.
Also, don’t forget the back arches. Get on your hands and knees, and arch your back as many times as your are comfortable doing. Don’t overdo this one to avoid overstressing your lower back.

First, avoid high sugar foods and large amounts of carbohydrates. As for ab exercises, try crunches with your legs elevated. You can also do standing ab exercises by pulling one leg up to your waist. Be sure you are doing cardio as well. Good luck it’s one of the toughest areas to define!

Unless you are prepared to undergo liposuction, you can’t really ‘get rid’ of love handles.
If you look at typical swim-suit model guys, who are usually lean and very cut, they too, have fat deposits near the hips, and it doesn’t look bad on them.
What you can do is minimize the size of the fat cells in this area of the body, and also tighten up the muscles in the area. In your diet, eliminate as much fat as possible. Do lots of cardio.
To tone the muscles in the area, do alot of ‘oblique’ work (with machines, or just sit ups laying on your side).
One exercise that has helped me alot is to hold a very heavy weight in one arm. Leave your arm fully extended, and lean with your upper body in the opposite direction from the weight-holding arm (that is, leave your legs still, let your upper body do the work). Do many, many reps of this in sets of 20. Alternate sides equally. This will stretch the “side abs” and give you a more defined torso. You will feel the stretch immediately, and quickly see some results (give it a month).
You might always still have the handles, but the trick is to ‘wear them well.’
Maybe we’ll see you in next summer’s Sears catalogue :=)
Good luck!

Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.
Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.
U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.
