For the love of God thats why you shouldnt listen to that sort of advice. Sorry if i seem wound up its just that there is a fitness myth going around advicenators (or maybe the whole world) that it is possible to target fat loss through exercise.
There is no exercise on earth that can make you do that, humans dont work that way. You have the choice to lose weight (overall) or not to lose weight. If you choose the former, then your body will eventually burn up your love handles, but you can never know how soon that will happen (and you cannot affect it either).
Now, if you want to lose weight the best form of exercise is resistance training (like weights) because of the effect it has on your metabolism. Proper nutrition and such is just as important. If you want specific advice on that feel free to drop me a note.
Please please please pass it on to all your friends... targetting an area will at MOST tighten the area up a bit, it will do nothing for fat loss there. Training your entire body is the key, nothing less.

try standing in a windmill position (you can put a broom, or other stick across your shoulders for balance) and lean straight over to the left and then to the right. if your doing it correctly you should feel like your stretching each side continue untill you feel that muscle burnning in both sides.good luck! please keep in mind, and look it up on the web, that cardio, and muscle building, including targeted muscle building, both burn fat!

I bet if you started jogging a mile or two every day and then gradually started adding on distance as your body gets more used to it you'd start dropping weight everywhere, not just your sides.
