5 Exercises To Get Rid Of Your Love Handles

“The key is to quickly do the five full body exercises that will increase your heart rate, train your cardiovascular system and at the same time help you burn fat while increasing lean muscle tissue”

Some studies suggest that Indians are born with higher cholesterol while other studies suggest, our genes predict a 20-60 percent chance of contracting heart disease. What remains true is that what you eat and how much activity you have in your lite accounts for 40 – 80 percent of your heart condition as you grow older.

In 2015, I witnessed the lite saving effects that strength training played when my mother underwent a quadruple bypass surgery. She had been active since her 30s with cardio and strength training, but at 70, she tailed a stress test and was taken immediately into surgery. Having lost most of her siblings to heart disease in their 50s, doctors credited her high fitness levels for her quick recovery and ability to cheat death. Did she love handles? Yes, small ones and those along with a predisposition to heart disease was enough to do damage.

What saved her life and got rid of those love handles at the same time, was lifting weights and doing daily cardio. Here are the exercises recommended you include daily to keep your heart healthy and keep those love handles in check.
