If you’re looking to say goodbye to your love handles this Summer, try out this five-minute workout. Along with a sensible diet and ample cardio, the combination of these exercises that strengthen your glutes, lower back, and abs will help diminish the appearance of the dreaded muffin top. Perform each of the following moves for one minute each, but feel free to repeat this plan two or even three times for a more intense session.

- Sit on the ground with your knees bent and your heels about a foot from your bum.
- Lean slightly back without rounding your spine at all. It is really important, and difficult, to keep your back straight, so don’t let it curve.
- Place your arms straight out in front of you with one hand on top of the other. Your hands should be level with the bottom of your rib cage.
- Pull your navel to your spine and twist slowly to the left. The movement is not large and comes from the ribs rotating, not from your arms swinging. Inhale through your center, and rotate to the right. This completes one rep. Lift your feet off the ground for a more advanced variation.
- Do as many full rotations as you can for one minute.[/su_box]
