To have a flatter torso, a better definition to our belly and to be fit and healthy rate among the top desires for all of us. But how do you get the most out of your exercise routines to achieve this?

The key is to get the maximum bang for your buck. To get the most effect in the least amount of time. This is why I believe that love handle exercises can be the most effective way to a lean fit body and to reduce excess weight around our mid-section.

Maintaining a lean, fit body is a combination of proper diet, exercise, getting plenty of sleep, drinking lots of water and living a healthy lifestyle. I am sure it’s no surprise to you, as you sit there hunched over at your computer sipping on a Coke, that most of the population is lacking on complete total body fitness.

Most people contemplate doing love handle exercises (or any other fitness routine) to get rid of their bulging mid-section but don’t get around to taking action.

Sedentary lifestyles and lack of exercise can wreak havoc on our bodies and mental state. No one plans to get fat or have a growing stomach. It just sort of happens doesn’t it from years of too many beers, poor eating choices and lack of regular exercise.

So here is a very effective love handle exercises routine which can be completed in 20 minutes, is super effective and can be done anywhere. It is rewarding and has flexibility to take in a variety of exercises to keep your motivation high.

Step 1 Love Handle Exercises to Burn Fat

Remember four numbers – 8, 12, 20, 4.

The instructions are: Complete a short intense burst of exercise for 8 seconds.

Rest for 12 seconds and repeat this simple cycle of 8 seconds burst and 12 seconds rest for 20 minutes. Complete the routine 4 times a week. So 8, 12, 20, 4.

Step 2 Love Handle Exercises to Burn Fat

The short bursts are best done in 5 minute blocks. Choose between cycling (stationary bike is best), sprinting and various exercises such as push ups, sit-ups, Hindu Squats, Back Bridge or Hindu Pushups. Skipping (jumping rope) is also a superb routine to consider.

So here is how I love to complete this routine.

5 minutes of sprinting consisting of 8 seconds burst and 12 seconds rest.

5 minutes of pushups and sit-ups (8 seconds burst and 12 seconds rest repeatedly).

5 minutes of sprinting again and you guessed it (8 seconds bursts and 12 seconds rest).

Followed by 5 minutes of pushups and sprinting (8 seconds burst and 12 seconds rest).

This is a brilliantly effective routine for cardio fitness and burning fat to its absolute maximum. The power of interval training has been well documented and by using this simple program four times a week can be much more effective than longer periods of jogging.

Step 3: Love Handle exercises to Burn Maximum Fat

This routine works brilliantly and immediately when you stick to four times a week. Now four times a week need of only 20 minutes is achievable for you surely! It can be done at lunch times, before work, after work, in fact anytime at all and done anywhere.

The key is not to stop in between 5 minute installments. Keep going to get maximum gain. For those starting an intense routine such as this, check with your doctor first. Consider slowing down to half pace instead of full on bursts if you must.

Love Handle exercises and routines to burn fat really work. I hope you find this very effective as I personally have.
