a good start will be side stretches....do them slowly and think about the strech - dont just rush them.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Bend your upper body to the right while continuing to face the front and not allowing your hips to rotate; at the same time use your right hand to push your right hip gently in the opposite direction; feel the stretch along the left-hand side of your torso. Repeat for the opposite side.

Also do them so you strech your arm over your head, arms close to your ears, try not to overstrech and think about each strech,
Its not about quantity its about the quality of the strech.
5 good ones are better than 20 rushed ones.
Take a few slow deep breaths before, via the nose.
Breath out slowly through the nose on the out strech as if releasing all the tension and breath in slowly through the nose on release.
Think about every move.
Remember shoulders down.
If only I put it into practise myself!! maybe I will start tomorrow! lol

Love handles is stored fat.
Fat loss can be achieved via diet changes (Note I didnt say diet as a diet is a temp change and leads to gaining more weight than you started with) or a combination of diet changes and excerise.
I advocate the latter as working out has many benefits than just diet changes alone. doing weight training increases lean muscle mass meaning you burn more calories and aids in fat loss
Drink water.
To lose weight be careful of potatoes. Although they are carbs they are different to carbs like pasta or rice they are processed by the body very quickly (and can lead to insulin spikes meaning fat storage. Insulin is the gateway to fat. So stay away from cakes sweets and sugars.
REMEMBER: You can get fat from eating healthy foods. Its really comes down to the following rule
Your body must use more energy than its get from the foods you consume. Even the healthy ones
Eat smaller meals ideally 6 small meals a day to keep you metabolism high. Drink lots of water and excercise at 70% of your aerobic capacity for 30-60mins 3 times a week.
Losing fat is a long term process. Fat increases over weeks and months and likewise when losing it it comes of slowly. Forget all the magazines that say quick easy weight loss because even if the diets do work they reduce muscle mass and not just fat and often are not healthy.
