As you begin the weight loss battle, there are a few important things to remember to ensure you stay motivated and happy as your body begins to change. The most common approach to love handles is to start doing tons of cardio followed by lots of abdominal exercises in an attempt to quickly slim down your stomach.

Not only will your body take a huge hit from all the cardio, but it will also prevent your body’s natural body from healing and rebuilding itself. The problem with a lot of direct abdominal work at this stage is that you still have a fairly thick layer of fat separating your abdominal muscles from the outside world. Strengthening and developing your abdomen with certain exercises will only make you look more bloated and will not help you get rid of love handles.

This is where your motivation takes a huge hit and motivation is everything when it comes to losing weight, if you’re not in the right mindset your workouts are less effective and worst of all, you’re just not happy.

The best cardiovascular exercise for burning fat is the type of anaerobic exercise that works a full range of muscles in the body while also working the heart and strengthening cardiovascular health. A great example of this is jumping, which works your leg, shoulder, and core muscles, giving you an amazing workout that can fit into any busy schedule.
