Thanks.
The "love handles" are made out of fat, not muscle, so you can't really exercise fat since it is not contractile tissue. If you meant what exercises are good for removing/minimizing "love handles," then any activity with a high caloric cost will be good. As I and others have said before, you cannot spot reduce fat. Exercising a specific area will NOT cause greater fat loss in that area than exercising a different part of the body (assuming caloric costs are equal)
