9 Best Resistance Band Exercises for Love Handles
Resistance bands are versatile tools for targeting love handles and obliques. Here are nine effective exercises:
- Standing Oblique Crunches: Anchor the band and perform side bends.
- Russian Twists: Seated twists with the band around your feet.
- Pallof Press: Anti-rotation exercise to strengthen the core.
- Woodchoppers: Diagonal movements that engage the entire core.
- Side Plank with Hip Dips: Add resistance to traditional side planks.
- Bicycle Crunches with Band: Use the band for added resistance during bicycle crunches.
- Seated Trunk Rotations: Twist while seated with the band around your back.
- Standing Trunk Rotations: Similar to seated, but performed standing for more challenge.
- Banded Mountain Climbers: Add a band around your feet during mountain climbers.
Remember to combine these exercises with a healthy diet and cardiovascular activity for optimal results in reducing love handles.
