If you can’t lose the love handles no matter how hard you’ve tried, then do exactly what is shown in this video and it will happen faster than you think. The key to getting rid of fat around the waist is to realize that it too, just like all body fat, is something that can be done with persistence and a few important strategies. While there is no such thing as love handle exercises or exercises to burn lower belly fat, there are things you can do in and out of the gym to see results much faster.
The first thing you have to do to get rid of fat around the waist or love handles is take a close look at how you’re eating. Nutrition is and always will be the number one priority when it comes to getting ripped and losing body fat. All too often, people want to skip this part of the equation because it is the one that is most difficult to stay consistent with, but it’s where all the difference matters.
Many people will turn to different kinds of diets in order to lose fat fast. The problem with most diets is that they are temporary solutions to a long term problem. And even when you follow the “rules” of the diet plan, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you are going to lose fat. For instance, if your keto plan has you avoiding carbs but you still wind up overeating significantly on fats and proteins and are unable to get to a hypo caloric state, you are not going to lose your love handles.
Similarly, if you are following a diet strategy like intermittent fasting as a way of losing the fat around the waistline, be advised that simply eating within the proper window does not guarantee success. Again, if you consume more calories than you are burning off you are not going to burn enough fat to get rid of that around your belly.
The second big nutrition mistake relates to the first and that is, even if you can do everything right with your nutrition but you quit too soon you likely will not see the results you’re looking for. Keep in mind that in men especially, waistline and lower belly fat is the last to go. This pertains to the low back as well. You will first start to see fat loss in the face and neck but only when you’ve been consistent for a long period of time will you see the love handles start to disappear.
Don’t give up too soon just because you don’t see the fat loss in the love handles. Realize that it’s coming, it just will take a bit more time.
As far as training goes, there are some things you can do to get rid of love handles faster. You need to be sure that as the fat loss occurs that the muscles underneath are developed and looking good which will give the appearance of a better looking waistline sooner. Here is where you want to be sure you’re not just doing traditional ab exercises.
Train your obliques.
People often say that doing oblique exercises will thicken your waistline. This isn’t the significant cause of why you have a thick waist, it’s the body fat laying over the top. So that said, be sure to include a healthy dose of rotational oblique exercises and even add in weighted exercises to be sure that you’re building the muscle and training it hard enough to make a difference in its appearance.
Here is where you want to be sure that you’re doing your ab exercises right. The bicycle crunch and russian twists are two moves that many people screw up when trying to train for a trim waistline. Don’t just flip your hands and elbows across your body but be sure to rotate as you do. Lock your hands or elbows in place and rotate your entire torso as you move to really etch in those deep oblique muscles.
Finally, don’t forget the broom stick twist. This classic oblique exercise is great for giving you high quality contractions of the obliques to make them pop out as you lose the love handle fat laying over the top of them.

@YoDex ME ✋
Yes!
@ATHLEAN-X™️ Hey Jeff, could you do a no equipment calf workout video please. Cheers!
Sup jef I follow ya for years here from Mexico 🇲🇽
Anybody else noticed the photoshopped pic on the left side of the title of the video?
Jeff, fantastic! I can’t wait to do the lean back, dowel rotation !! That’s awesome
This video is Very helpful. Thanks a lot
Very helpful. I'm where I need to be on almost every other level except the oblique areas of my body and it makes me feel like all my hard work is for nothing with this problem area.
LOVED THE VIDEO !!! THOUGH most of the time it felt like a rap song
How to I get the fat off the center of my abs? I have abs all around but not the center of the upper abs smh
I love that Jeff has more memes than Chuck Norris
2:40 I want the same program that dude did. Someone knows what he did?
Great video, thanks for the tips, I'm going to mix some of this into my morning workout.
The picture in the thumbnail is not even belly fat at all.
As per thumbnails.. looks like 10 min hardwork with Photoshop .. shhhhhh
its funny, he talks about how diets dont work, then says no.2 ...more out than in..aka, a diet.
Stop counting the reps. Make the reps count. Gold 🌟
The fitter Jeff gets the more like a Hispanic boxer he looks.
what i do was... made my lats bigger, back wider... then the belly will look smaller
I have a question im a freshmen in highschool and im trainging for my school sports but i also have a lot of school work so how do i balance out all of these exercises with the limited time I have
Thank you
When the before pic has zero fat on him, much less love handles 🤦♀️
This is huge. Can’t wait to try these out. I love the explanation of the elbows
love handles are genetic... burning the fat off through burning calories is the only way to get rid of them... period
you want to see love handles?
Don't drink Alcohol or Pop!!!
This guy uses photoshop to make himself less awesome for a thumbnail... wow...
This guy never fails to give me hope and advise and at the same time make me feel fat af
“Stop counting the reps, start making the reps count”
Well said, it's about the quality of the repetition and not quantity 👏, I'm gonna try it
a heard a vicious rumour that on an off day Jeff slipped up to 1% body fat but after sneezing went back to a 0.8% . is this true ?
This is where you take the money to the plastic surgeon to get it fixed.
The nibble is WAY OFF to one side in the thumbnail
Thank you, so on point!
I don’t mind having smaller love handles, but after a trip of eating pasta and drinking wine it’s definitely something to work on lol. Thanks for the tips
i didn't watch the video, but i guess the answer is: Eat less!
HAHAHA the "before" and after photo is hillarious :D
Liposuction...
The bloody beat hooghly squash because spider anecdotally itch versus a abrasive pyjama. puzzling, aboriginal sushi
Serious question. I struggle with working my stomache i had a varicoselle veins that went from my stomache down into my groin that i had clipped with metal clips when i was 15. So now anytime i do sit-ups or overwork my stomache my whole stomache goes into a cramp which completely debilitates me. I have to lie down and wait for it to go away which sometimes can be up to an hour. Is there anything you can suggest workout wise that could help me as i used to have a 6 pack and now no matter what i do i either end up in pain or giving up.
The people who clicked dislike on this video are lazy bums who don’t want to put in work.... there’s no magical pill... it’s a process of discipline.
1. TRAIN YOUR BACK GROW YOUR BACK.
You don’t wear adidas sweats with Nike shoes tho 🤦🏽♂️
Jeff I’m not even as ripped as the thumbnail ....
You seriously photoshop your abs to look like crap in the thumbnail? 99,99999% of people do the opposite.
Great video, very informative. I intend to use it to rid myself of unwanted belly fat and love handles. Thank you!
this is interesting, definitely getting those super man ribs
You are THE MAN! Smartest fitness trainer I know
Real mentor.
i am on a diet and already lost 15 kilograms and yeah the first weight loss was in my face we are in a lockdown right now so gyms are closed but i will hit the gym as soon as they are open again
I'm getting back to my shredded 8 pack. I eat sooooo badly and still have a 4 pack, been doing this for 2 years now. Here we go
Hey Jeff. As you stated, the lower back fat is the hardest to lose. If nutrition and obliques (slim waist line) are on point, how do I target this remaining stubborn area? Thanks!
4:15
Jeff, you don't have love handles. You only have LOVE!
I sorry, I only see body dismorfic disorder here on this channel.
this guy is the real deal ....thanks!!!
Gòrdnè diag
U don’t have love handles u just have love
The thumbnail looks like a before and after for a steroid advertisement
Oh, so i did the right thing. Just not the right way.
There was literally McDonalds ad prior to this video 😂
Next, how to time travel
Man, I love yr vids. Very well explained and spot on. Thank you for your service :)
Great advice! Persistency is the key! 👍
Any tips for exercises that target the lower back fat?
Minor note: if you have had lumbar spine issues, don't do Russian twists. I once did Russian twists after recovering from a herniated disc and it screwed me up for the night. When you do twisting movements, make sure to twist the upper body and the pelvis at the same to the same direction; that's the safest and very effective for the obliques; breakdancing type floor work where you are actively moving from one side to another.
Wait so bicycle crunches are bad? They are rotational tho
Holy photo shopped thumbnail
it-my.com/watchvideo/video-kVhl7UZJ5qQ.html You have basic or unique Idea 💡
Fuck! Ive been doing both of these wrong for months! Thanks Jeff!
you are theh best
Thank you, Jeff; for another informative and inspiring video. You are the top man for exercise & nutrition on the internet. Everything is practical and speaks to all types of fitness levels across the board!!!
