What are the right exercises for love handles?
The following exercises also target the core muscles; especially oblique, lower back and abdominals. These types of workouts target a specific group of muscles called the obliques, which are located on the side of the abdomen. The oblique muscles are muscles on both sides of the abdomen, extending from the lower ribs to the pelvis. The side plank challenges the entire abdomen with an emphasis on the obliques.
Method:
Another version of the plank exercise begins with the plank on the side position, with the elbows touching the floor. Hold the plank position for a moment before repeating this ab exercise on the other side. Start in a plank position and pull one knee towards your chest while keeping the other leg straight and extended.
For an easier version of the hanging leg raise, slowly bring your knees up to your chest. Lie on your back and slowly pull your leg up, bending your knees, and place your arms above your head. Sit on your left leg with your knees bent and keep your right leg straight. Lift your right leg and try to touch your knees with your left elbow while lifting your upper body.
Step your leg back and repeat on the other side, placing your left knee on your left elbow. Slowly turn to the other side, returning the left leg to the left leg bent position, moving the right elbow toward the left knee. On the low plank (elbow touching the ground) and high plank, extend the right knee out and try to touch the right elbow.
