Love handles and jiggly bits!

How do I lose my love handles? And fast!

I'm a size 10/12 so I'm not "big" but I just don't like my shape!

I have love handles and a bum which is a lot jigglier than I'd like. How do I tone that too?

What exercises work? Or is it purely down to diet?

Or do I just accept that this is my shape 😩

What exercise are you doing at the moment?
I’m no expert but things like crunches, side crunches and side planks would help your belly and love handles, also a healthy diet would help. Lunges, squats, glute bridges etc will help your bum.
If you are not already then start looking at exercise videos or join a class. You’ll soon figure out what exercises work for you.

You can spot reduce fat - you just can't,the only way to reduce it is to lose weight all over.

However, the exercises suggested are all good, consider adding weight training too - it keeps your body burning calories post workout far longer than cardio - don't worry about bulking up either - it's super difficult to do!

I do a HIIT/circuit training work out approx 3 times a week and have a fairly healthy diet but nothing seems to help. I've had them as long as I remember!

It will be diet as it's just places where fat is stored, but stronger muscles underneath will help too.

Focus on core and oblique exercises as well as the glutes (buttocks)

Callanetics will tone you up
