How to Lose Love Handles With Smart Aerobic Exercise

If you want to know how to lose love handles, you only need to practice a smart combination of diet, portion control, aerobic exercise, and toning exercise to get results. In this article, you will learn about aerobic exercises. You have got to burn that fat, baby! Smart exercise is just the ticket to do it.

The only reason that you have love handles now is that, sometime in the past, you consistently ate more calories than your body was able to use. So your body stored those extra calories in your fat cells for future use. Guess what? The future is now!

So to get rid of your love handles, you need some cardiovascular (aerobic exercise). This exercise gets you breathing deeply and your heart pumping. The good news is that you don't need to kill yourself. You want to exercise hard enough so that you can still talk, just not sing.

Good aerobic exercises are brisk walking, jogging, biking, steppers, elliptical machines, and the best fat burning exercise of all, jump roping. Did you know that if you weigh 150 pounds, you can burn nearly 700 calories per hour jump roping? Incredible. And if you weigh more than that, you would burn more calories than that.

Now few of us can jump rope for an hour. And I would not recommend it if you are in poor shape, have prior health conditions, such as back or knee problems. But if you are already exercising regularly and have no health problems, then you might want to give jump roping a try.

To lose significant fat fast, which is what love handles are made of, then you need to do 45 minutes to 1 hour at least 5 days a week. The good news is that you don't need to do your 45 minutes to 1 hour at once. In fact, I recommend that you break it up into two sessions if you can. Do 20-30 minutes in the morning and 20-30 minutes in the evening.

That way, you fire up your fat burning furnace twice during the day instead of just once. Also, for extra help to get rid of love handles, then include more movement to your day in general.

• Park further away when you go to the store so you can walk a little extra. Don't go for a Sunday stroll. Turn and burn like you are in the Indy 500!
• Take the stairs instead of the elevator. If you are in a tall building and can't climb the entire way, then just get off a couple of floors early and walk the rest
• Walk around when you are talking on the phone at home
• March in place and pump your arms during television commercials
• Play with your kids - catch a ball, throw a Frisbee, challenge them to a water gun battle. Have fun!

The more smart aerobic exercise you add to your life, then faster you will lose your love handles and reveal some incredible abs.
