Getting Rid of My Love Handles And Saddle Bags...augh!
Posted: 09-17-04 20:43pm

I dont know if anyone had post a message like this but I need some help with this.

I cant seem to get rid of my love handles and saddle bags. I dont want my inner thighs to touch and the jeans that I wear my handles hang out alittle bit. I know I am young and I shouldnt worry about it but I do.

I have tried to exercise for like 2 weeks then I quit doing it, I dont know why. I do eat alot better than I used to. If you have any type of advise please inform me cuz I would love to get into my jeans and noe have fat hang over or when I stand straight I dont want my inner thighs to touch.

Thank you,

Try making small changes in your daily routine to make the transition to a healthier lifestyle which should in time help with the love handles Wink

throwing yourself into a high level exercise program is bound to put you off, so try easing into it more gently, and maybe finding a type of exercise or a sport that you enjoy, rather than seeing it as a chore.

If you catch the bus to school/work, try getting off a couple of stops earlier and walking the rest of the way. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, and maybe take up that sport you have always wanted to try. Offer to walk the neighbours dog perhaps? Try to make exercise fun and you will look forward to it!

Rather than eating three big meals a day, try having 6 smaller meals so that you are grazing all day and never feel hungry which will stop you from binging. Try having a huge glass of water every time you feel hungry as thirst is often confused with hunger. I also try to have a big glass of water before I eat so I feel more full and don't tend to eat as much.

Stick with it, and don't expect to see dramatic results straight away. You will notice an increase in your energy levels over time, an increase in your general wellbeing, and a decrease in the size of your love handles!

Best of luck!

Unfoutunately you cant spot reduce.. So you need to loose body fat, and do lots of cardio

I know a reallly good exercise for that is leg lifts where you lie on the floor and lift your unbent legs. It's great for toning the area from the butt to lower abs.

This is a very simple and effective work out that helps your inner thighs.
Ok..
-lie flat on your back with your legs extended to the ceiling.
-bring your heels together so that your toes are pointed out to the sides.
-now bend your knees until your legs form a diamond shape, and pull your heels down toward your butt.
Then slowly sraighten you rlegs again.
Aim for 2-3 sets of 10-20 reps, you will start to see results in about a month.

And the posts before are right, you can't spot reduce but keep at this work out and with doing cardio and lowering your daily fat intake!
