What machine works your love handles the best?

the machine you need is a rotating platform that you stand on, with a handle in front to hold on to. You use it by rotating everything below the waist from side to side, while your upper body stays still.

Not all gyms have these, because they are low-tech pieces of equipment and not considered ‘glamorous’.

You can see a version (or buy it for use at home) endorsed by Kirsty Gallagher in the Argos catalogue. This machine includes a vibrating platform, but its main use is for conditioning your waist. The illustrations show Kirsty using it WRONGLY; all of the movement should take place between your ribs and your hips.

You can also get a very inexpensive turntable (usually called a ‘twister’ or something similar) without any handle. These are also under-rated, and can be very effective if you use them regularly.

Some gyms have a machine called a ‘Seated Oblique Twist’, which provides resistance against a handle that you move sideways with both arms. These are not very common, because the machine is a bit specialised, and looks ‘enclosed’ and scary to most people.

Learning to perform a PILATES move called a ‘pelvic curl’ or ‘pelvic tilt’ will help to make the twisting movement (on any of these machines)even more effective.
