If you are one of those people all around the world that want to get rid of their love handles, then this article is for you. Here you understand how to lose them and also build some muscles around your lower back. It can be easily done with these exercise routines.
The best exercises for your lower back and love handles are known as compound or multi joint exercises. That is because they work multiple muscle groups at the same time. But, let me explain how an exercise that works your lower back can also melt your love handles.
First, you need to understand that you cannot spot reduce fat on your body. It must be an overall reduction of your body fat percentage. The best way to do this is not by running or doing other long drawn out cardio exercises but by lifting weights. This is because the more muscle you have the more fat you will burn throughout the day, even in your sleep. Muscle increases your body’s metabolism.
That being said if you are using a barbell then the dead lift is the king for working your lower back and burning calories to get rid of your love handles.
But, there is another alternative as well. If you use kettlebells virtually all the workouts work your lower back to one extent or another. KBs have the added benefit that they also burn calories like nothing else. Using KBs you can burn calories at up to 20 a minute and lose up to 1% of body fat a week.
This is because their cannonball with a handle design allows them to be swung which brings a cardiovascular element that is missing from usual weight lifting. The basic exercise is simply swinging it between your legs and this really works your lower back as well as your abs.
