Toning stubborn trouble spots requires a strategy that combines high-energy movement with targeted muscle engagement. While many people struggle with fat deposits around the waist and hips, the right approach can transform these areas by building strength and boosting your metabolic rate.
GYMGUYZ Founder and CEO Josh York recently shared his top recommendations with Parade for tackling love handles. Josh identifies mountain climbers as the #1 best exercise for this goal because they combine the stability of a plank with the cardiovascular burn of running in place. This dual-action movement carves out the abdominal muscles while torching calories, making it a highly efficient addition to any routine.
“Starting in a plank position, bring your knees up, almost running in place, being sure to maintain your plank position.”
