We all know what the michelines are. Those parts that are noticeable with or without pants, that protrude from garments around the waist or rather towards the hip. So, whichever way you look at it, they are always uncomfortable. So, we are going to try to bet on the most effective exercises to say goodbye to them.
Since starting from a good diet, now It's time to focus on physical exercise. With the combination of these two parts, we will surely achieve a slimmer body, saying goodbye to rolls or love handles. Even the clothes will fit you much better without them!
Russian twists or 'Russian Twist'
They are known in both ways but surely you have already put them into practice on more than one occasion. Because It is one of the perfect exercises to work the core area, although the toning of the legs also joins it. To do it, we sit on the ground, bend our legs and raise our heels off the ground. Now is the time to leave them still and to move our trunk from one side to the other. It can be done with weight or disc. So it is the movement as if we wanted to pass said disc from one side of our body to the other. So it will be in charge of refining our waist, thanks to the fact that we will keep the abdomen area contracted and the turns themselves.
The climbers to eliminate love handles
This exercise is known by all and once again, it is also perfect to say goodbye to the love handles. So, we are going to lie on our stomachs, we support ourselves on the palms of our hands while our arms are fully stretched. We throw our feet and legs back. Now it only remains to bring one leg to the opposite shoulder and return to the starting position. We must not force at any time, hence only as far as we can go. We will continue doing several repetitions and then, we will change legs. It is perfect for the abdomen but also to refine the hip area more.
bicycle sit-ups
The bicycle does allow us to enjoy a moderate to high intensity exercise, so it is perfect for losing calories and for toning the whole body. But here we will not need the bicycle as such but to be able to perform a series of bicycle sit-ups. How sure do you know them? Well, you just have to lie on your back and place your legs at 90º. Also, incorporate your head and with your hands you will keep it raised. Of course, do not put force in the cervical area, but all of it will concentrate on squeezing the core well. Now it's time to pedal your legs as if you were riding a bike or by stretching and shrinking your legs. Can you last 60 seconds?
Squats
Yes, you are going to think that with them you are only strengthening the gluteal area, you are wrong. Because they are also perfect to continue toning the rest of the body and of course, for the abdominal area. The best way to work the latter is that you do them with a little weight. Both with a barbell, adapted to your needs, and with dumbbells. That will depend on each one! But thanks to that weight that we are including, we will do even more exercise of the body.
the side plates
We weren't going to forget about them either. Because side plates are always one of those perfect options for our love handles and the rest of the body. In this case, parts of being lying on the side. Then you incorporate the trunk and finally raise your hips and lean on your feet and one arm. Both the waist and the abdominals will be strengthened. Now you know how to say goodbye to the love handles!
