Exercises to remove saddlebags:

Here are few easy exercises that will help you to get rid of saddlebags.

• Side leg raises: Stand up straight, directly behind a table or chair, feet slightly apart. Hold onto the table to help keep your balance. Take 3 seconds to lift your right leg out to the side. Take 3 seconds to lower your leg back to the starting position. Repeat with your left leg. The side leg raise strengthens muscles at the side of the hips and thighs. You can use ankle weights or cable to add some weight for progression.
