You can't "spot-reduce" although there are times that I so wish I could. I would say a combo of cardio, healthy diet, and resistance training would be the best way to lose overall fat and eventually those dreaded love handles. Good luck!

Hi,

Yes I'm with Widget. Exercise wise a combo of cardio and resistance training (be it with weights or just your own body weight - i.e. abs, pushups, squats etc) works best to tone up and reduce fat which will have an effect all over - though it cannot be targeted.

Yes, cardio is your best bet. Have you tried "8-minute Abs"? I definitely recommend it... you can find it on YouTube. They show you all sorts of different crunches, including a couple that targets love handles

Just keep doing what you're doing and lose weight. Your love handles will come off eventually by themselves.
