If you are trying to get rid of those love handles, you have probably noticed that the normal tummy exercises do not really help. Well it is because you have to do specific obliques exercises. Combined with the normal stomach exercises, that should help you to get rid of those love handles.

What you have to keep in mind when you are trying to get rid of those love handles is that only obliques exercises will not do the trick. They will help you to target your problem area, but you will have to lose some fat as well.

So you have to follow a four point plan to lose those love handles, belly fat and any other problems you have with your midriff.

Here is the four point plan:

• Go on a healthy balanced diet
• Do obliques exercises
• Do all the other stomach exercises
• Do some regular cardio

Now that is not as bad as it may sound! A healthy balanced diet will make sure you get all the nutrition you need and that cardio will help with the general fat burning process. With the exercises you will be targeting your problem area.

1. A healthy balanced diet:

The reason why you have to follow a well balanced diet is because you need to exercise. If you follow one of the many fad diets, you will not eat enough to exercise with safety. And without the diet, you are not going to get rid of the fat. So, you have to follow a healthy, calorie controlled, balanced diet.

2. Do obliques exercises:

There are a few specific one you can do are, side bends, torso twists, side crunch and seated knee drops.

3. Do all the other stomach exercises:

Here it is a good idea to do exercises that targets all the muscles in your midriff area. The reason for this is that you want your whole skeleton to be in balance and you do not want to overdevelop some muscles and leave the others. This will eventually lead to back problems and more.

4. Do some regular cardio:

Cardio is healthy, but that is not the only reason why you have to do them, cardio is a great way to burn extra fat and it will greatly assist you in your efforts to lose those love handles.

So it is clear, not only obliques exercises but a balanced program is what you need.
