How long would it take to lose my love handles?

All that oblique work won't burn the fat you have in the love handles. The exercises will just work the muscles UNDER the fat. But they'll never show until you lose the body fat on top of them.

All those exercise are cool. They burn calories. BUT they will come from all over your body, not just from the love handle area. Or worse, the calories used to fuel those exercises will come from the food you ate prior to exercising.

So how do you get rid of the love handles?? Through a well designed diet. Our diet is 80% of our success.

Here's a well designed fat loss diet for a young lady who weighs 130lbs:

1300 calories each day. 550 calories from protein + 550 calories from fat + 200 calories from carbs.

That's it. Real simple. Real boring. But REAL effective.

Eating like THAT will put your body in the best possible position to use your stored energy (your body fat) as fuel ALL day and ALL night. Even while you sleep.

good luck!

edit: I must add... The device you used in P.E. class to determine your body composition is the absolute least accurate of methods. It was more than likely a bio-impedence device. Either a scale or a hand held device. I would not put much credence into that reading. Go by the mirror and by how your clothes feel.

The best way to test our bodyfat levels are:

1) dexa scan

2) under water hydrostatic test

3) bod-pod

4) calipers

and then 5) bio-impedence
