I love muffin tops, but not on my body….although some of those on my body came from eating real muffin tops. Whether you call them your love handles, spare tire or muffin tops, they can spoil the neat line of fitted clothing and pop over the top of the waist of your jeans.
Those pesky lumps of flesh around the waist are tough to hide. I’ve even suffered through the super tight fitted undergarments designed for that purpose, but won’t do it again, even if the occasion is super special.
Instead, I watched this video and started doing the exercises. It’s only been 2 weeks of just doing them every other day, and I can feel the muscles reacting. I’m not saying I’m any thinner, but it’s working.
Ah, if only it were that easy. What I am saying is I now know every muscle underneath my spare tire of fat. I also did as the video suggested, I started eating healthy. I guess you can’t get rid of a muffin top if you still eat them every day.
