    Default Exersizes to target this area

    What types of exersizes would tone and lengthen this area of the body?
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    Those are your obliques...one of the hardest areas to work. THis site has some good moves for it though:

    one that i like is to sit down, holding a hend weight. make your theighs and stomach form a v, and sit up straight. hold the weight straight out in front of you and slowly twist side to side with the weight. i didnt explain that well i dont think, but if you have on demand, the gnd workouts are on there again i think and holly does this at the end of hers before her cooldown.

    another is the standing oblique crunch. instead of simply doing side bends, bring your knee to your elbow, same as you would laying down except youre standing.

    i thought this move in the picture was called the plank pose, but im apparently wrong because i cant find a picture without the arm up like that, haha. if you do this on your elbow, instead of with your arm like that, it works your obliques when you hold each side.

    The only thing that worked my lovehandle area was running. I hated running for the longest time and used the elliptical to get my cardio in. I worked out about 3-5 times a week and they wouldn't go away. Once I started running they melted off within a month.

    If you aren't running, maybe give it a try? I reccomend the Couch to 5k program.

    side planks... also pec flies (laying on your back with weights in each hand with arms extended straight up above your chest, move one out to the side of you and then return it back above you, switch sides, repeat) will work your entire back and arms/shoulders at the same time

    There's the link to the program. It's basically just running in longer and longer intervals, but its nice to have a plan that lays everything out.

    Oh I just started kickboxing again and remembered how good it was at getting rid of those love handles
