Love Handle Help!!!

Hey,

:confused: Does anyone have any really good exercises, routines, fitness plans etc for gettinng rid of those really annoying 'love handles' or wobbly bits on your hips/back!!?? mine just wont budge, im 20 and weigh 7stone10 and im 5'4 in height, just wanna trim up for the summer!!

Any help would be much appreciated!

Lucy x :D

also....whats 7stone10 converted into Lbs??!! x
 
Unfortunately, you cannot spot reduce, as others will tell you. If you want to reduce love handles and other problem areas you'll have to reduce your all-around fat ratio...with diet and excersise

I've always wondered about 'stone' too, I don't know what the conversion is...

good luck!
 
Yeh...im from england and we use stone instead of Llbs but these sites use Llbs and im getting very confused!!??? hee hee!

thanks for the advice, ive been doing regular exercises such as crunches, leg raises, squats and ab toning... i also do brisk walking everyday. im not a member of a gym because its farrrr toooo expensive for us students!! what food/meal plans do you recommend? and should i do power walking/running everyday and then alternate my other exercises??! HELP!! (sorry if i sound totally dumb!)

trust me, I had to ask too...through reading and asking I now eat 5-6 times per day (smaller meals). I try to eat one carb/one protein per meal. Plus I've started taking extra protein through whey powder, here is my original post on that:

Most everything I do at the gym I can do at home if I had the correct weights. I do mostly dumbbells...

14 lbs is 1 stone.

where in the uk are you?

unfortunately most 'student deals' at gyms are still expensive and restrict when you can go.
 
Here are 5 tips to get you going...

1) Eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day. Each meal should be 2-3 hours apart. Each meal should contain one protein and one carb. The first meal should be eaten within an hour after waking.


2) Drink a cup of water at each meal.


3) Rest properly. This means taking at least 48 hours between strength training the same muscles, and it also means getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Lastly, it means taking 1-2 days off from exercising per week.


4) Cardio. This should be done at different intensity levels and different session lengths. Consider doing a low intensity/long session, a high intensity/short session and a few medium intensity/medium length sessions.


5) Strength Training. Strength train each muscle 1-3 times per week. You should lift a proper weight and perform the proper amount of sets/reps for your strength training method. If you need more guidance or exercise ideas you can head over


All of the above things combined will result in fat loss.
