(KUTV) Jeffrey Beck from Intermountain Medical Center shows how to get rid of love handles:Oblique scissors: Lie on your back, lift and bend your knees at 90 degrees. Place hands behind your head to support your neck. Contract abs and lift shoulders off the floor. Use your oblique muscles by attempting to bring the left shoulder towards the right knee, and then the right shoulder towards the left knee.Muffin Top: Muffin top refers to fat around one's waistline which spills out on the sides similar to a muffin spilling over its paper mold. Wearing figure-hugging dresses can be a problem for people who have a muffin top as the bulges can be clearly seen on the sides. Also, wearing short tops is a non-no. But rather than covering in under clothes, you can get rid of muffin tops with the following exercises.Abdominal crunches: Lie on your back with your knees bent, and your hands behind your head. Lift your shoulders and upper back off the floor with your head pointing the ceiling. Exhale when you come up and inhale as you lie down again. Beck says one can further challenge themselves by raising their legs off the floor and bending their knees at 90 degrees.Abs reverse curl: Lie on your back, lift and bend your knees at 90 degrees. Contract your abs to stabilize your torso, and bring your hips and knees towards your chest. Slowly return to starting position. To increase the challenge, do this exercise on an incline bench.   _____ Copyright 2014 Sinclair Broadcast Group
