How to get rid of love handles with these yoga asanas and exercises

Often this bulge is associated with a lot of emotional indulgence and acceptance. Simply because it might be covered up with an appropriate choice of outfit and not make you look fat. But “love handles”, or the excess fatty deposits that sit on either side of the wa above the hips, may be an indicator of abdominal fat accumulation and consequent obesity.
These are some exercises one can do and following nutritional advice can help bring down body fat ratio. I would choose yoga first because it not just helps to shape you but improves your agility, endurance, flexibility and mobility. Exercises help improve body postures, balance and stability. However, yoga asanas additionally help improve bodily systems, organs and functions.
Yoga asanas with the rhythmic flow of breath accelerates the process and also improves energy flow. Practise the below given asanas and exercises for love handles and improve your core strength.
REVERSE TRIANGLE
Stand straight and bring your right leg two steps ahead, keep both feet straight. Inhale, lift both the arms up to the shoulder level. Exhale, tw and bring your left hand towards the right ankle. Hold it for 10 counts. Inhale and slowly come up and repeat on the other side.
SIDE KICK WHILE IN WIDE CHAIR POSE
Stand straight with legs three feet apart. Breathe in and go down in a squat position. Breathe out, come up, straighten your legs and kick sidewards, alternating right and left. Breathe in and come back in a squat position.
BOAT POSE
First lie down flat on your mat, with your feet together and your arms on the sides and fingers stretched towards your toes. Inhale and as you exhale, lift your upper body and bend the knee, stretching your arms towards your feet. Slowly try to straighten your legs. Feel the stretch in your stomach area and balance your body entirely on the buttocks. Make sure your eyes, fingers and toes are all in one line. Hold your breath and remain in this position for at least 10 seconds.
Exhale slowly and bring the legs, then the upper body down and relax.
ANANTASANA
Lie down on your back, turn on the right side. Inhale, lift your left leg up and hold the toe or calf with your left hand. Exhale slowly and come down.
Other Yogasanas such as Supta Vakrasana and Parshva Konasana can be done. Team them up with pranayama practices like Kapalbhati and Maha Bandha.
OTHER EXERCISES
Other than the above, side bends (Standing and sitting), tw, forward bends, squat, lunge and planks can be done regularly. In a side plank, for example, lie down on one side, using one arm to prop yourself up. Then place one leg on top of the other, forming a straight line. Raise your hips off the ground and hold this position for 30 seconds. Repeat this on the other side.
For tws, sit down with bent knees. Then tw your torso toward the left side and hold your position. Then turn their torso toward the right and hold. Repeat this exercise 30 times. To increase difficulty, people can perform the exercise with a weight.
Crunches are easy lying flat on your back with legs lifted and knees bent. Then simply tw your right elbow towards your left knee while fully extending your right leg. Repeat this on the opposite side.
FOOD MANAGEMENT
Food management also plays a vital role for optimal benefits. Eating a well-balanced and nourished diet is an important factor to help lose those love handles.
These are some of the suggested healthy ways:
(1) Consume at least two servings of fresh fruits and five servings of vegetables per day. Include more greens, cruciferous vegetables and salads.
(2) Include more protein-rich sources like sprouts and lentils.
(3) Limit fried, packaged and processed foods.
(4) Stay hydrated drinking herbal teas and enough water.
When they appear, love handles may not appear dangerous. But considering that Indians are prone to accumulating stubborn belly fat, it is better to trim the waline from the very beginning.
