Only 3 simple Plank exercises that will tighten your love handles

Love handles — no one really likes these suckers; they ruin your chances of wearing skinny jeans and of course, they’re not so easy to get rid of.

For those who might not be aware, love handle fat basically sits on the side of the abdominal area.
Essentially, they lie right on top of the obliques — a very specific group of abdominal muscles.

So how can you work them?
Well, you got to do it the old-fashioned way — exercis!
But hey, you should be aware that those suckers aren’t going anywhere unless you target them precisely.
And of course, you’ll still want to give healthy eating a shot.
In fact, you’re unlikely to see any result if your diet is loaded with junk or processed foods.
So yes, once you’ve taken care of your diet, you can try these three 3 simple exercises that actually target love handles.
Let’s check them out!

1. Bicycle Crunches
• Lie on your back with your knees bent and hands behind your head. Be sure not to clasp your hands together.
• Now engage your abs by lifting your shoulders and upper back off of the floor. And at the same time, move your right elbow toward your left knee ensuring that they meet in the middle of your body.
• Now, it’s time to switch position — simply bring your left elbow to your right knee. Just continue switching as quickly as you can while still keeping your torso raised off the floor.

2. Russian Twists
• Start by sitting on your buttocks with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Ensure that your torso is leaning back at a 45° to the floor.
• While holding a dumbbell in both hands, lift your feet from the floor, crossing them at the ankles and balancing your butt.
• Now, from this position, twist your torso to the right and touch your dumbbell to the floor next to your body.
• Then twist back over to the left touching the weight to the left side of your body. Just repeat back and forth while balancing with your legs and torso raised off the ground.

3. Side Plank Hip Lifts
• Get into the side plank position, placing your elbow on the floor and your legs and hips resting on the ground.
• Now, while 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.
• Just lower again and repeat. Try to do at least 15 reps on both sides — right and left.
And yes, here’s to hoping that these exercises actually kick those love handles to the curb. Good luck!
