It doesn’t matter whether you call those fats on your sides as love handles, flanks, or muffin top, they just have to go. It is quite embarrassing to see some bulges on your sides when wearing some tight tops or clothing but the good news is that you can actually reduce the excess fats in your abdominal section with the right workout. Here are some exercises that can blast those extra fats on your sides.

Saxon side bends

You will need to hold a dumbbell with both hands and stand with your feet apart. Lift the weight and make sure to hold it over your head. Slowly bend to your right while keeping your back straight. Bend as far as you can go. Go back to your upright position then bend to the left. This will complete one rep. You can do as many reps as you want.

Side planks with a dip

Planks are one of the best core exercises that you can do as it engages several muscle groups in your midsection. In this exercise, you will need to go on a side plank where you lie on your side and your legs stacked. Prop your upper body on your elbow then make sure to raise your hips. Hold this pose for five counts then lower your hips back down to the mat and repeat. You can do as many dips as you like then switch to the other side. Repeat.

Russian twists

Another flank fat buster workout that you can do is the Russian twists. You will need to sit with your legs bent and your feet flat on the ground. You will then need to lean back as you position your torso to 45-degree angle. Raise your arms out in front of your chest then engage your abdominal muscles. Now twist at the waist to the right and touch the mat to the right of your hip. Go back to the middle and twist to the left. To make this exercise even more challenging, raise your legs too so your core muscles will be working double time.

Bicycle crunches

You should also incorporate bicycle crunches in your regimen as this will help blast some serious fats. Lie down on your back on your mat with your legs extended. Now bend your elbows and place hands on the sides of your head, behind your ears. Lift your legs and form 90-degrees. Move your arms and legs one at a time, twist at your waist to bring your right knee towards your chest while bringing the left elbow to your right knee. Now twist in the opposite direction so that your left knee is moving towards your chest while being met by your right elbow. Keep alternating until you complete 20 reps.
