Lurve Handles....

    Ok so about 3 months ago, when I was finally given the all clear from doctors(torn ligaments,metal rod in my hip, and damage to my achilles tendon, first two in right leg, other in left) I decided to get back to working out. Being an ex gymnast I became so frustrated not being able to work out as much as I had before. while I was recovering I kept up upper body, stomach and Back work, but I developed what I can only describe as love handles.... and after 3 months, of working out 5 times a week (2 hours each) there is still no improvement........my legs are improving at a faster rate. My back is very well defined and I have tried so many excerises spefically designed for lower back/love handle region... Its really starting to get to me at this stage.... any advice would be greatly appricated...

    Methinks it's diet related as well. You can't eat as much as you could when you were a competitive gymnast.

    BTW, are you in the Dublin area? I'd love to meet an ex - gymnast who could show me the training progression for a Maltese or other could gymnasticky things.

    My diet is low carb, just purely because Im allergic to wheat and potatoes and havnt yet found an alternitive substitute that I can stomach yet, enough protein, fruit veg, havnt eaten choc sweets or crisps in about 2 years....I dont drink....

    as far as over doing it... i dont think i am really....

    and for the Maltese... gotta master the Crucifix first mate...
