Get Rid Of Your Bulging Back Fat
Most women don’t work their back muscles. I must say I am guilty for neglecting my own. So with a little regular cardio and targeted strength moves I hope this will do the trick. Genetics plays a role in where you store fat, but the upper back is also a tough area to home in on, says Brian Shiers, a personal trainer in Los Angeles. Many of the moves you do every day are in front of you (swinging a tennis racket, carrying bags), which works the chest, not the back.
To refocus your routine, do cardio for 30 to 60 minutes on most days of the week. Rowing and boxing with a bag will help tone back muscles and burn fat all over. In the weight room, do 2 or 3 sets of 8 to 12 reps of bent-over flyes (hold a dumbbell in each hand, bend over at your hips, and draw your arms out to each side to shoulder height). Those bra bulges should start to vanish in about a month.

Between the back fat and the v neck style of her shirt in the back, it looks like she has her head on backwards. My husband tells me I have a sexy back. I have been working my back muscles for years.
March 21st, 2008 @ 12:04 pmI have found Pilates is great for working my back muscles.
One other weight lifting technique I would recommend is the one-armed row. It hits the bra bulge area nicely.

No we don’t work our back muscles and we should!
March 21st, 2008 @ 2:24 pmi’m a big fan of pilates too - after only a few sessions everything begins to simultaneously tighten up and lengthen out. great exercise and such a confidence booster!
ordered the “winsor pilates” kit a while back, and found that these were an excellent starting place for those new to pilates. you’re able to sign up for monthly shipments of different pilates dvd’s w/ increasing intensities too.
