Here are five - very doable - ways to getting rid of them, for good.

Twist dancing
It is more of a dance than a workout. Just play your favourite number and dance off those love handles with this twisting exercise. The trick is to incorporate as many twists as possible. You do not have to be calorie-phobic to live in a perfect body. Just some tricks with a little discipline is the key to a healthy living!

Oblique sit ups
Though, quite similar to the traditional sit up, the oblique one is more challenging to do. Just lay straight on your back. Make your knees bend towards one side of your body. Now, perform the exercise by bringing your chest up towards the sky. Repeat this in two sets of 10. This exercise basically puts pressure on the sides of your belly.

You are what you eat
When trying to get rid of love handles, altering your diet can do wonders. Avoid white foods such as rice, milk, sugar and salt, as they are empty calories. Substitute it with coloured foods like spinach, carrot, grapes and tomatoes etc. Also include lemon water with honey in your diet, preferably replacing the aerated drinks and canned juices.

Yoga twists
Doing crunches for your abs do not always melt those stubborn love handles. Learn and practice yoga, especially the side twists. These side twists not only tone the muscles but also tuck in the bulging fat from the sides. Poses that you must try are Twisted triangle and Standing spinal twist along with quick exhalations.

Perfect that posture
Maintaining the right posture goes a long way in helping you trim down your belly, especially that excessive fat around the abdomen. Always stand straight with your weight distributed on both feet. Do not forget to pull your belly button close to your spine, while keeping the shoulders relaxed. The head and neck have to be in one line

You already have a bulging tummy, but cannot resist licking your fingers at a food stall? The mere sight of hot samosas makes you forget all your weight loss resolutions?
