What is the best cardio exercise? I'm looking for any excersize that burns a lot of fat and maybe if you can target it to the love handle area it would be great then my abs would be complete.
 
HIIT (high intensity interval training). In general you can NOT spot reduce. There is no exercise which can burn fat from your love handles. You must reduce overall body fat level.
 
Your body sorta has preset fat deposit sites... The first place it is stored of course is the last place it will be burned off... That's why people have those little "pouches" and they can't get them off because of that... For some people it's their thighs or in your case, the love handle area.... You'll just have to work hard to get them off and keep them off... (And doing oblique workouts alone will not get rid of the fat that's on top of those muscles)
 
Yup. You can't target a specific area for fat loss...You can only building the muscle there helping it appear less flabby. You need to reduce overall body fat percentage to get rid of the love handles.
 
well I heared from a doctor that (to lose fat that is) you should do long cardio sessions but with a very low heartrate
 
i agree, any exercise that you can continue at a nice pace for at least 30 minutes, is good. for most people it is bicycling(of course outside, not in a gym) or running. Also if you do mountain climbing, it is even better, because then you exercise the whole time that you're hiking.
Also i like the following non-cardio exercises for this purpose:
1)hang on a pullup bar and twist your body sideways to the left and to the right, until you can't hang any more. It is possible to do 50+ repetitions.
2) flutter kicks-lie on your back with your hands stretched behind your back and move your legs up and down, bending your knees slightly. goal is to do this nonstop for several minutes.
 
LST (long slow training) does burn more calories while you are doing it, but HIIT done for only 20 minutes burns more calories after you stop by 10x more compared to a 60 minute long slow run! This is because HIIT stimulates maximum release of HGH and long slow training does not.
 
dswithers is right... HIIT does burn it in less time, but you have to consider who's working out... HIIT would be perfect for athlete's and younger people, but for older people with possible health problems, LST would me safer for them... Just train the way what your body can handle and what you want it to do.....
