Do not listen to this person.

Spot reducing is laughable. You'll just have to drop body fat and it'll eventually disappear from the spots you want, unfortunately genetics determines where the last place fat disappears from.

You've done a fitness leaders course & worked in a gym for 5 years have you? :rolleyes:
 
How chirpymagpie will lose those handles!

Forget that other thread, it was junk.


Chirpymagpie?

A good diet it obvious and there is plenty of info on how to do it. At the VERY least, right from the beginning, for the first week, cut all junk foods. ALL junk foods I said. For one week! EASY!!!

Now, make yourself do this. Fight it all you can and do it for the next week. If you can do that. It just well may be habit after that.

Again, it's obvious to what foods and how much to eat. 4-6 meals per day. A lot of info out there. Remember. SMALL meals! I was given a diet to lose weight, and it wasn't very much and I'm a guy.


Self-control is a lot harder then any exercise I reckon. Untill it becomes habit. Then it's easy but you must FIGHT it to become so.


Exercise? The following WILL raise some eyebrows. Someone already has touched on a couple of things I recommend.


Who needs 30-60mins aerobic work 4-5 days per week? Who WANTS to do it? Not me! Chirpymagpie? Buy a skipping rope. And a wall clock with a seconds hand.

Warm up with a slow skip. Rest a min or two then when the seconds hand is on 12, skip at a medium pace for 20 seconds then STOP! Rest for 10 seconds so that when the seconds hand is on the 6 - derr - skip at same pace again for another 20 seconds then STOP! Rest again for 10 seconds.

It should be obvious by now that that was 1 minute! Complete the same all again another 3 times. That's 4 minutes all up of a 20 second skip/ 10 second pause sequence.


4 minutes. 4 little old minutes! AND THAT IT'S!! Your done. Wait a couple or few days until your calfs, heels are recovered then do it again, this time a little more quicker when skipping.

Try for at least 3 times per week of this routine and you'll be fitter in no time. Mark my words! You'll be skipping so fat the rope will be a blur. Maybe try it on a treadmill or do some squat jumps for variety.


Now! Buy a broom stick. I do this 2-3 times per week. Holding broom stick on back like you were going to do barbell squats, twist GENTLY side to side so the stick will go 90 degrees.

Each turn is 1 rep. Do 100 reps. Straight after that, with stick in same postion, bend GENTLY to the side. Don't lean but BEND using your cute cury love handles which will burn after 50 reps or so. Or 10 if your unlucky!

Do 100 bends or reps.


Again leave for a couple of days or more if your sore then do it again working up to 200 reps for both exercises.

Situps? Lie on ground with hands by side or whereever. Do leg raises but don't let feet touch ground when you lower them. Keep going 'till failure then go straight into your everyday crunches also to failure. Rest 30 seconds then repeat. And that's it. Do that twice per week. No more.



Try that chirpymagpie. Give it a go for 4-6 weeks and report back. Be honest and strict. And we'll see what happens to those 'handles'.

Why the hell do people use metric for weight and imperial for height, I do not get it.

If you are proud of who you are, why are you asking? Sounds like you're not, nothing wrong with that.

You need to drop body fat, you can either do it my modifying your diet, doing more exercise, doing coke, allowing yourself to be locked up as a sex slave in someones basement for a period of time or getting caught training with the taliban in a foreign country.

agreed

and mantis if you are as knowledgable as you claim to be about weight loss you wouldn't be advising chirps that side twists (or whatever the hell you said) would get rid of her love handles... YOU CANNOT SPOT BURN FAT... The only way she will get rid of her love handles is to reduce her overall body fat and the harsh reality of life says 'the first place you put fat on will be the last place it leaves.... FACT!
 
tad harsh
although im not going for the scrawny look which im sure you can relate to

i'm not trying to be a bitch to you fryingpan, i just want to put your comments in context just in case they give chirps a complex.

fryingpan likes men, and like most gay men, he finds the stick thin look more attractive than a girl with curves.
 
I can agree, being the same height and weight (I think - haven't weighed myself for months). I've been 65kg and "skinny fat" and I'm around 69kg now and have a much better body composition, and I'm about a size 10. Fryingpan, I think you would need to see myself or chirpymagpie in person before you call someone our height and weight fat.

It's not harsh.

If you want to lose the love handles then get some motivation and stick to a strict diet & head to the gym. You know that's what you need to do in order to lose weight. Not too sure why you would even need advice on what to do.

I can relate to the scrawny look? I don't know what you mean. I'm 72kgs and 5'11. My partner is 61 kgs & 5"9. Nothing scrawny there from either side.

I hate this word "curves" it's just another, more polite word for fat.

You're half right though, I do like the slim look but who doesn't? Don't like the stick thin look though nicky.

fine fryingpan, maybe you should learn your measurements before you call girls fat without even looking at them. :thumbsu:

our bmi's are practically equal

Now that's just silly nicky how can I look at a girl thru the computer?

All I'm saying is that the girls I've come across that have been nearing the 70kg mark or over have been a bit heavy.
