Tired Of Your Love Handles Or Muffin Top?

!±8± Tired Of Your Love Handles Or Muffin Top?

The appearance of love handles does not mean that you have been living a jolly life. Rather, they mean that you have not taken the time or effort to take care of yourself. Okay, this is a little harsh, but it is true. Love handles only exist when an excess of fat exists on the inside where it has been building up for years. This type of fat is very unhealthy and quite dangerous; when it gets to the point that it is visible it has gotten way out of hand.

Don't get discouraged; it is not too late. There are many people out there who suffer from such unsightly fat deposits who swear there is nothing that can be done about them that once they are there, they are there for life. But, look around. Is everyone suffering from a muffin top or love handles? Many, yes, but not everyone. There are still many people out there who have that physique that we all dream of. It is these people whom should give you hope.

These people may have good genes, but that is not the only reason they look like a million bucks. People who have that "perfect" body; a good muscle to fat ratio, work on it. Yes, having a sexy physique takes time and energy. But, it does not take hours a day at the gym running on a treadmill and elliptical machines. Instead, you can get the same look with a mere 90 minutes a week; shocking, yes, but true.

This is not one of those "get skinny in a week" schemes; rather this is a plan that will not only change the way you look, but your lifestyle as well. See, that is what it takes to have that fit body, a lifestyle change. You need to start making wise choices when it comes to the food that you consume. Rather than eating a brownie when you have a sweet tooth, choose some yogurt or even a red apple. Instead of eating bowl of Lucky Charms for breakfast, eat a bowl of oats topped with some fruit. Choices; it's all about choices.

But exercise is very important too. Cardiovascular exercise is not the answer life we thought for so many years. Instead, muscle mass is. You do not need a serious amount of muscles to be fit and toned; you just need to tone what your body already has. A simple strength training routine, 20-30 minutes, performed 2-3 times a week will do just that. You don't even have to join a gym, just make sure that you are challenging your muscles; yes, you should feel it - if you don't you need to push harder. We all know that it takes work, it's time to put some of our energy and effort into our bodies and focus on losing those love handles; they will kill you.
