Quick Love Handle Workout

I have the love handles and the muffin top plus some!

There are so many different exercises out there that you can do.

Give some of these a try, it's a 10 minute workout, so you

can fit it into a busy schedule or add it to your routine.

Woodchoppers

You want to do 40 of these, 20 on each side.

Using on hand weight, stand with your feet hip

width apart with your weight on your left leg.

Start by holding the weight in both hands up by

your left shoulder. Next, twist to make a chopping

motion down towards your right hip. Allow your feet

and knees to pivot with the twist. Raise the weight

back up to your left shoulder, repeat for 20 reps and

then work on your right side.

Russian Twists

You want to do 50 of these, sit on your butt with your

knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Your torso should

be leaning back at a 45 degree angle to the floor.

Hold a dumbbell with both hands. Lift your feet from the ground,

crossing them at the ankles and balancing your butt.

From this position, twist your torso to the right and

touch your dumbbell to the ground next to your body.

Next twist back over to the left touching the weight

to the left side of your body. Repeat back and forth,

all while balancing with your legs and torso

raised off of the ground.

Side Plank Hip Lifts 

You want to do a total of 30, 15 for each side.

Get into a side plank position with your elbow on the

ground and your legs and hips resting on the ground.

Engaging your abs and keeping your body in a straight line,

raise the lower half of your body up off the ground into

a straight plank position. Lower again and repeat.

Bicycle Crunches

Do 30 of these, lie on your back with your knees bent

and our hands behind your head. Do not clasp your hands

together. Engage your abs, lifting your shoulders and

upper back off of the ground. At the same time, move

your right elbow toward your left knee so that they

meet in the middle of your body. Next switch your

position by bringing your left elbow to your right knee.

Continue as quickly as possible while still keeping your

torso raised up off the ground.
