Love handle exercises for men

There are certain areas in the body that might need more attention when it comes to losing fat and strengthening. Of course, the most infamous region is definitely the abdomen. Fat has a tendency to attach more in this area because this region is determined for excessive fat storage, especially when it comes to men.

Each of these areas has certain exercises that should be used for shaping. Love handle exercise for men which might be the most effective is side crunches.

For this exercise, a practitioner should be lying on the side with stretched legs, although some people bend legs in knees for additional intensifying of the exercise.
