    Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred! I lost over 3 inches from my ribcage measurement in a month, taking my back measurement from 33" to 29 3/4"! I hadn't realised I had over 3 inches of back fat to lose!

    I have the same problem - not what you want to hear but lose fat all over and it will go down - you cant spot reduce unfotunately. x

    What it reallu comes down to is, a calorie deficit and overall body fat reduction. Weight training (especially heavy weight training) can speed up the process. Cardio is not as effective as weight training.

    look at the machines at the gym, and use any/all of them that show they work the back. I lost obscene amounts of back fat that way! 3-4 times a week I do lat pull downs, back rows, back extensions, etc

    When I started working out in February, I had ROLLS of fat on my back--it looked like I had a set of saggy boobs back there. Last month I was looking through my phone and I found a picture taken in October before I got my hair cut, and I realized I was wearing the same outfit, so I had hubby take a picture...the difference was mind boggling. Go to my profile and look at my pics--the ones in a black/white shirt...

    Yes I can definitely see the difference. I'm not a gym fan to be honest, I get bored, but walk, swim and dvds. Thanks for your advice. x:bigsmile:

    Row you *kitten* off lol...........Rowing will help your lower back, shoulders, and under your arms (you know right under your arm pit that everyone seems to have trouble with), and it will tone your arms as well :)

    unfortunately there is no way to reduce fat from any particular area. keep eating at a calorie deficit, do cardio and strength training, and you'll see the fat disappear from every place.

    You must be an "apple" shape. This is a common problems for us. I copied the youtube information to look up later.

    I go in and do up to an hour on the treadmill, then go do the weight machines. I mix it up so I don't get bored or over work any specific muscles. Periodically I add new exercises--yesterday it was the assisted pull-up. Hopefully after my 3 kids are settled back to school, I can find the money to hire a personal trainer to help me out of my comfort zone, and maybe start doing free weights!
