Love handles go away

If you want to lose love handles, then you better start doing a obliques workouts so you can be sure they look good when you drop the excess body fat. Since we know that body fat accumulation over this area can lead to the dreaded love handles, I’m going to point you to some nutritional guidance as well that will help you to lose weight and show off those obliques as you develop them.

In terms of the workout, it helps to first understand a bit of the anatomy of the oblique muscles in order to get the most out of your training and to lose love handles fast.

The obliques are composed of both internal obliques and external obliques. As implied, the internal run deeper than the external and are actually not visible to the naked eye from the outside. The direction of the fibers run perpendicular to each other, with the external obliques running down and in and the internal obliques running up and in.

To really have a complete oblique workout, you need to make sure that you train both of these muscles and that you hit all of the functions of these muscles in one concise training plan. The role of the oblique muscles is not just to make your love handles look better when covered by less fat, but to do many different actions. These include rotation (both from the top down and the bottom up), side flexion from the top down and the bottom up, and prevention of both rotation and side bending.
