Q: I have always had love handles...all of my life. My dad's family all has them. I can NOT stand them. I am self conscious in bikinis, tight shirts, everything. I have tried cross crunches, i eat healthy, cardio....everything. This is my workout every day:
30 Min. Treadmill
15 Min Strength training on arms(i have very weak upperbody strength)
50 crunches
25 cross crunches on each side
15 Min. Indoor rowing boat machine thing
I eat healthy as i can, but we are always running out of fresh vegatables and fruits, and i have asked my mom to get more but they spoil quickly. Sooo...i do really try geting rid of them but it's not working! Any tips? Please!! i rate.

you've been doing great! this is probably a genetic factor, but we can fix that (: first, try strengthening your lower back. strengthening your abdominal muscles is a key step in reducing your love handles. strengthening the muscles in your lower back balances the strength in your torso. try this exercise: lie on your stomach, lift your legs off the ground so that your knees are not touching the ground and keeping your legs straight, start "flutter kicking" as if you were swimming. do this for about 15 seconds and rest. repeat it twice and you'll be strenghthening your back muscles!
since you've already been working on your abs, keep up the good work! and most important of all, cardiovascular exercise! playing basketball, running, and other active, intense sport outdoors would be great! if you choose to run around your neighborhood, try running hills. the steeper the better! on the food side, cut down on sodium (salt) and drink lots of water. also, losing calories is a big part of losing those love handles. make sure you burn off more calories than you eat. and watch your calorie intake. you're doing great! keep up the good work!
