Doing sit-ups and ab work will build the muscles underneath, but you have to burn the fat on top in order for them to show, which can be burned through cardio. Everyone has as six pack somewhere under there!

Try a cardio workout to begin with because even though they can be very vigorous, they can also be a lot of fun and motivate you to keep at it. I highly recommend getting some fitness DVDs and working out in the comfort of your own living room if you like. Start out with something simple such as Richard Simmons' Sweatin' To The Oldies. That's a classic and has helped generations of people lose weight and keep it off.
Also, I would suggest working on your trouble areas specifically. You say your biggest problem are love handles...I would suggest doing sit-ups daily and lots of bending and stretching from side to side. Stand on the floor with your feet spread apart and simply twist your midsection back and forth. You can do this while you watch a movie or something (making exercise consistently convenient is key to making it a habit). Come up with your own routine if you feel like it. Also, there's nothing like going to the gym to get motivated and pumped by all the people working out around you.
If I were you, I would get a CD player or an iPod and listen to a bunch of songs you loved from last summer. Work out to them as you imagine how you felt back then and keep yourself motivated by knowing that this summer will be completely different. You will have the body you want and you will feel amazing knowing how much hard work you're putting into making this happen. Talk to yourself as you do it and keep a positive, motivating inner dialogue going. Be your own cheerleader.
TheAnnie answered Thursday March 13 2008, 12:46 am: ok well on tv i heard of this exercise for love handles ( i cant really explain it but i'll try) i actually do these myself (just started)
so after you run or exercise (sweat). do this when stretching. ok so what you would do it umlike sit on your knees kinda with one of your leg to the side of your body (look like you are on your knees just one leg is to your side). ok then lift that floded leg up. your whole folded leg (the one at your side) should be lifted vertically. do this a couple of time (or more). its really hard for me to explain and i cant find any pictures. so tell me if you dont get it. but its a good exercise (difficult) but effective [ TheAnnie's advice column | Ask TheAnnie A Question ]
