I wouldn't say that I am a 'fat' guy or anything and I would say that I am fairly fit, but the one thing I hate about myself is I hate those bit of fat around my waist. Muffin tops, love handles call them what you will I just want to get rid of them!

I have a fairly good diet keep the carbs calories low to non-existant, do alot of cardio in the way of cycling and football.

Any ideas/hint and tips to shift them? Exercises ect...

But it's just fat. The same things that got rid of all the other fat will get rid of that fat. If you're weight isn't dropping, you're at equilibrium. Meaning you have to reduce calories or increase activity.

I'm now under 9% headed for a bodybuilding competition and because I've carried heavy fat around my midsection for 20 years or so, even at 9% I've still got them. They really aren't going to disappear until I'm down to 5% I don't think. Good luck.
