    whats a reverse fly !:embarassed:

    Lay on a bench at and incline, a dumbbell in each hand hanging in front of you, a slight bend in your arms. Bring the weights up and out to the side, maintaining the same bend in your arms, while squeezing your shoulder blades together. You should be in an approximate "T" position at the top of the movement. Then lower your hands back down. This is one rep.

    Cannot spot reduce, unfortunately. I asked the trainers at my gym the same question and they said watching your diet and cardio with strength training is the only way to do it. Old school but old school works!

    everyone is right that you cannot singularly spot reduce. however in CONJUNCTION with ur diet and cardio exercise, you can see some helpful results with some specific exercises. again, if you do ONLY the exercises, you won't see any difference. lol...

    the back are you are referring to is your "latissimus dorsi" muscles and the fat lying on top of it. google "latissimus dorsi exercises" for the most helpful descriptions and videos.

    for your inner & outer hips/thighs, one of the single best exercises is rollerblading. a lot of people cannot rollerblade. so google "slide board exercises" and how to do it yourself at home in the kitchen. :)

    good luck!

    When I started Zumba, I knew it would be great cardio. I was afraid that I would have a problem with the target areas (back, stomach, arms). Zumba is definitely toning all areas. I have noticed a lot less haning over my bra straps.

    You can do it standing, bend at the waist and let the weights hang in front of you. Be sure to keep a flat back (think about sticking your butt up in the air... If you do Yoga, it's the "cow" part of the Cat-cow). Hold that same bend at your waist as you bring the weights up and out to the side. Don't bend at the hips for each repetition.
