These are the areas that are responsible for your “love handles” and respond well to strengthening exercises like those demonstrated in this video. HOW TO LOSE YOUR LOVE HANDLES Love handles are the extra skin and fat that typically sit right above our hips above our belt line. Now the absolute best way to lose your love handles is actually through a healthy diet and plenty of healthy activity. You see - it is actually impossible to “spot treat“ fat. I can’t simply perform hundreds of oblique crunches and expect to lose weight in my sides and obliques. That’s simply not how the body works. In order to lose weight from your stomach, you need to focus on losing weight everywhere. Eating a healthy diet with eliminating sweets and eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables is going to help get you there the quickest. That said, however, strengthening and toning the muscles in a given area will add muscle definition to that spot. If you want a toned, tight stomach you need to lose body fat AND tighten the underlying muscle.  This workout will certainly help to get you there. WHAT IS DIASTASIS RECTI?
