Having excess back fat can make you feel frumpy, unattractive and uncomfortable. Because of the way that many of today's fashions fit back fat can make wearing anything fashionable or fitted quite miserable to wear since the clothing can pinch and cut into your skin.
Even if you are otherwise slim back fat can be a problem partly because isolating your back muscles is difficult and partly because back fat is just plain stubborn. That's why so many people struggle with losing love handles even after they have lost a lot of weight from the rest of their bodies.
When it comes to losing back fat, there are several things you can do. The first is to do exercises to work out the muscles in your back. Rows are a great way to exercise your back muscles and can either be done with a light free weight or even with no weight if you can use your mind to isolate the muscle.
Start by stepping one of your feet forward in a wide step so it is like you are mid-stride. Next, bend forward and the waist and hold the weight in your right hand. Extend your arm straight down toward the floor with the weight in it. Now, bend you arm and pull the weight up until it is next to your side, and then extend it back down toward the floor. Try to do 3 sets of 10-15 reps of these on each arm.
Along with exercises specifically targeted at your back you should do some aerobic exercise like walking, running, swimming, riding a bike or anything else you enjoy several times a week. Try to do at least 20 minutes worth or aerobic exercise per session to get the best results.
Make sure with any type of exercise that you try not to overdo it and to check with your doctor to make sure it is alright for you to do. Listen to your body - if something feels very uncomfortable or painful stop doing it and try a different exercise instead.
Finally, besides exercising your back muscles and burning calories with your aerobic workouts, you need to adjust your diet to help you burn fat more effectively. Even if the only fat you are carrying is on your back, you need to signal your body to tap into that and use it for energy instead of storing it. Most diets miss the mark when it comes to helping you lose fat and you wind up losing muscle or water weight instead.
You should look for a diet program specifically designed to help you burn fat to see the fastest results and to start looking great in backless tops.
