5 Love-Handle Bursting Exercises

Abs is a problem area for many women, however building a strong core is the best solution.

Love handles comprise of both your internal and external obliques which create a force that builds strength to allow muscle to take over the fatty areas. Sculpting your oblique muscles will give you a more defined midsection, besides helping in stabilizing your core and support your back. Your external obliques help your trunk rotate, while your internal obliques help with rotation but on a deeper level.

Perform each move for 30 seconds and then take a 30-second break for as many rounds as possible. Do these exercises three to five days a week. Work smart, and push the muscles to exhaution.
