When training your core, specifically your obliques (aka Love Handles), try to implement a side plank, rather than side bends. With side bends, it's stressful on your back, and not very effective, especially when holding a weight in each hand, as each weight cancels each other out, and you end up just "pulling" your muscle, rather than working it.
A side plank is safer, much more effective, and should be a part of your overall core routine.
Most Common = Rest your weight on your forearm/elbow
More Challenging = Keep your arm straight and rest your weight on your palm (be careful with your wrist)
