Are You Ready To Lose Love Handles Fast?

You Are About To Learn The Secrets To Getting Rid Of Your Unsightly Love Handles And Replacing Them With Firm Toned Abs!

.

Hey There – John here,

If you’re looking for the best love handle workouts to tighten those abs and look good again (I’m talking wash-board abs), then I’m glad you’ve found this website and I strongly suggest you keep reading…Because this is my uncensored love handle elimination story…  The ups, the downs, what stuff didn’t work and finally, the one thing program that helped me …

Achieve My Goal of Eliminating My Love Handles – Permanently!

As I’ve noted on this blog, I’m no spring chicken any longer and over the years, my abs have gotten a bit flabby and my love handles seem to get larger with each passing year.

My core muscle mass has all but disappeared, my wind is gone and my back hurts all the time.  And I’ve got high cholesterol and I drive a desk at work all day long, so I really need to change some things in my life.

I’ve tried workouts for love handles at home and at the gym. I’ve used exercise balls, rubber band exercises and weight machines, along with various other things over the years to get me back in the shape I was in as a young man.  Heck I played soccer at a high level back in the day, along with many other sports – I was a ‘jock’.  Since then…

  • I’ve bought ALL the crap they pedal on late night TV, like the abs machine, a stair master, an elliptical machine, even the total gym and free weights.  They didn’t work for me and have either been discarded or are collecting dust, and yes – the love handles continued to grow.
  • I’ve tried different diets over the years too – yeah, low-fat, fat-free (no taste), good carb – bad carb, something called Atkins…they weren’t much fun, and even though I shed some poundage here and there, they really never gave me good looking abs – the love handles stayed in place.
  • I bought cross-country skis and in-line skates and tried workouts that way – the falls made both useless endeavors.
  • I put my bike on a stand in my basement to ride while I watch TV, but it makes so much noise that I rarely use it.
  • I even bought an I-pod and good running shoes…Yeah, you guessed it…
  • You know, looking back, I’ve spent a ton of money and wasted a boat load of time on workouts and exercise equipment that claim to be great total body and love handle exercises, but just didn’t work.

So, earlier in the year, I started researching and located several quality products.  The one I finally concluded on, was the Truth About Abs.  For me, it really works and it’s changing:

  • My entire way of looking at what I eat
  • How I grocery shop
  • My ab workouts and core strength training
  • My cardio workouts, everything –

… and my love handles are rapidly melting, almost like the butter I now put on my toast again. I even get reminder emails with tips and techniques to motivate me and help keep me focused – I don’t know about you, but for me, that’s a big plus.

“Finally I found a life-style program I can stick to!  It’s got teeth and a support system!”

Now, don’t get me wrong – it’s not perfect (but I guess I’m not either).  I mean, I don’t really like the idea of trying to cut out corn syrup from my diet and workouts are still required, after all. But seriously…

I can’t argue with the results and after all, I really just wanted to get into shape, lose love handles and not have a sore back anymore – Achieved!

  • I wanted to lose some weight and strengthen my core, which I’m steadily improving on, net of new muscle
  • My love handles are shrinking away with each passing day
  • I wanted to get a lot stronger, and I am – I can do 5x the push-ups I could when I started
Truth About Six Pack Abs - Love Handle Workouts

Click The Pic - For Great Love Handle Exercises

I began my search looking for a love handle workouts program and instead I found not only great love handle exercises, but an improved lifestyle and so much more.

In the end I guess that’s how it works – improve your diet, workout all your muscle groups including the big muscles of your legs and chest and then add in core exercise and some specific cardio workouts and you’ve got a recipe for success.

Here’s a bonus that I never saw coming – When I grabbed my copy of Mike’s Truth About Abs program,

  • I essentially got Mike as my personal trainer too!
  • His email reminders are a real life saver - He’s very motivating!

I hope you found the information on this site useful and maybe even inspiring.  I personally have the key to a healthier, happier life that my wife, kids and I will all benefit from.

Core Strength – Love Handle Exercises Programs I’m Researching

October 16th, 2009 John Thomas No comments

Greetings Fellow-Flat-Belly-Seeker and Love Handle Workouts Enthusiast,

Well, it’s the middle of hunting season in my neck of the woods and I’ve been getting a lot of exercise, tromping through the heavy cover with my German Shorthair Pointer.  I’ve also been utilizing the exercises that I’ve posted on this site, for the best love handle workouts to lose belly fat and expose those abs and I’m trying to digest the information and implement the suggestions found in a few of the products I’m reviewing.

Specifically I’ve narrowed it down to a couple programs that seem pretty good and are very thorough.

  • The first one – Truth About Six Pack Abs – really goes in depth into nutrition, cardio conditioning and overall strength training, including love handle exercises and large muscle exercises.  So far, it looks pretty cool.
  • The second one – Fat Loss 4 Idiots – great name – really more of diet and eating lifestyle and appears to focus on calorie shifting, instead of the same non-sense the other diet programs focus on such as: counting calories, low-fat, no-fat, low-carb, high-protein, etc.
  • There are a couple others that look pretty good too.

One thing is certain – I need to emphasize core strength training, love handle exercises and well, exercises for every other part of my ol’ body too, so if I don’t do the work to get myself in shape – it will be my fault.

Anyway, I’ll put up a solid review here shortly so you can benefit and hopefully save yourself some time and jump start your own New Year’s Resolution.  My sister is working away at the Truth About Six Pack Abs course.  I’ll probably put her thoughts in here as well –I know she’s already shed about six pounds.

Now, where did I put that dog’s leash – she’s so fast!

UPDATE: You can find out more about the Truth About Six Pack Abs, by reading my post in this blog – click here.  I think you’ll be pleased to find that while love handle workouts do have an impact at shaping you up and strengthening your core – there’s a whole lot more to it.

Everybody Claims You Can Lose Your Love Handles!

September 25th, 2009 John Thomas No comments

Hey it’s John,

After a bit of research, I’ve identified a handful of seemingly quality products and programs claiming they have love handle workouts and that they can strengthen my mid-section with core exercises, and if you believe the hype, I can become SUPERMAN

Most seem to include a bunch of nutritional information, work out regimens and the like.  All of them claim to be the “holy grail” when it comes to making me the lean, mean, fighting machine, my wife wishes I was.   Who knows, maybe by Valentine’s Day, I’ll be done losing love handles, the beer gut will be history and I’ll be on my way to rock hard six-pack abs.

Anyway, I’m going to buzz through them over the next several weeks and let you know what I think about them.  I think I’ll share them with my sister too and get her take… I could probably handle a fitness ball, but I sure hope I don’t have to do pilates workouts.  Is there even such a thing as good love handle workouts?

Love Handle Workouts – I Need To Lose Love Handles Fast!

September 12th, 2009 John Thomas No comments

Hey there,

I don’t know if you are like me – early forty’s, with a wife and two kids – yeah, my son think he can take me – but if you are, you’re probably not in the shape you think you should be.  I know I’m not – I need some love handle workouts, or something to get back to where I used to be.

As a desk jockey by day and master of the remote by night, about the only real exercise I get outside of hunting season is chasing the kids around the soccer field (yup – I’m the coach) and tossing dummies to the dog (now there’s a good workout – for the dog).

My gut is busting out a bit more each year and my back hurts all the time – too many car accidents and not enough core strength training… and maybe a few too many carbs.

Anyway, in anticipation of “New Year’s Resolution Time”, I decided to “tone up a bit” and so I got a physical, I started doing push-ups and I’m exploring different exercise products on the market to help me strengthen my back, tighten my gut, maybe find some love handle workouts and basically “cow-boy up” a bit.

Have a good one – I need to take the dog for a walk now – I’m in training you know.
