So you want to lose those love handles and bodyfat around your waist and hip. Unfortunately, everyone accumulates excess body fat in different ways and throughout different areas of the body and body fat around the waist have proven to be the most difficult to lose for a lot of people.
As you probably know, there is no magical bullet to lose weight only around your hip and waist area, so you have to create an overall workout program that will burn away your hip fat as well as the excess fat throughout your entire body because there is no such thing as spot reduction short of invasive medical precedures like liposuction at this moment.
For starters, you may want to maintain a routine of at least 30-45minutes of cardio activities four to five times a week. This can be used as the warm up to your strength training exercises or done completely separately. You make the call.
With that done and said, your strength training regime is designed to help you develop lean muscle and tone your body. Crunches is one way to tone your abdominal and hip area although there are many more exercises you can do. I mean, if you just lose body fat and do not have a well toned body, then if you looked like a pear before, you will only become a smaller pear.
The basic crunch is where you complete 10-20 repetitions and focus your gaze on the ceiling to prevent any strain on your neck or back. From here you may want to utilize the twist crunch. This is the same as the basic crunch except when you are going up, twist towards your left leg, and then lower. Repeat the right side and you are working abs the muscle groups that surround your hips.
It is important not to push yourself too hard with abdominal exercises like this because this is not the sole answer for losing hip fat. A combination of cardio and strength training is required for best results, of course combined with a good healthy diet. Without a healthy diet you are wasting your time because it is a myth that you can eat whatever you want to eat and still lose weight because you are exercising. Hip fat can be harder to lose but be patient and you will start to see results week after week.
Do increase the intensity of your cardio exercises as your body and stamina progresses or even use a medicine ball or weights to increase the intensity of your crunches as well. If you persist, you will soon get your desired slim and sexy waistline.
You will also noticed that fat not only come off from your waist and hip area, but all areas of your body as well. Once you have achieved your desired weight and a slim waist, you may then reduce the intensity and regularity of the exercises to a level where you maintain a balance and do not gain back the fat you have lost.
