Agree with the Shred and a calorie deficit. Here were my results.
Hope the pic works. And I have built a little more muscle in my back and lost about 5 more lbs since this pic.
Holy smokes! Is this after only 30 days??0 -

I lost a ton of back/middle fat from punching/boxing moves. I recommend Billy Blanks, Turbo Jam and the Slim in 6 Express Ab workout. Or you can just do side punches on your own. Step side to side and punch across your body. Side bends work to! I add weight to the side bends.0

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!
You just sold me on the 30 day shred!! I NEED TO GET IT!!
This!!! A thousand times, THIS.
I started the 30DS at the beginning of July and continue to use it on "rest days". I wish I'd taken measurements, because the differences in my body that I can visibly see are craaazy. I've gone from a 36D to a 34C (sometimes D) in a month, and down one pant size. The lbs aren't necessarily coming off, but I'm very obviously toning up, and I love results that I can SEE.0 -
Lawd KNOWS I have a lot of back fat. I can NOT wait to get rid of it. LOL It is not sexy I don't care what some people say.:laugh: :laugh:0

There is a difference in the before and after. Keep going you will get there. I have a ways to go too.0

A yoga move called the locust is a great way to stretch and tone the lower back. Here is the link to show you how the pose is done. http://www.ehow.com/video_2350677_yoga-locust-pose.html
If you have access to a barbell, you can do a bent over barbell roll.
Shrugs are also good. Here is a link to that move.

Deadlifting is also a good move for the back.
Julienne Michaels has a Yoga level one that covers moves for the whole body, including the back. This is a link to that video.

I also love the 30 day shred and noticed a difference all over. It is impossible to work just one part, but these exercise do also include working the back muscle.0 -
i glanced at this real quick and thought it said back fart :laugh: :laugh:
well.. to get rid of it... lots of cardio and less of carbohydratios!
LOL :bigsmile:0 -
ya.. I dont know.. I just realized: now that I have started losing weight... how much back fat i really DO have :noway: ... ugh its so sad!! :sad:
:grumble:
Oh well. i have Jillians 30 day shred and HATED IT!! Now that I run about 6x a week.. maybe my endurance levels are up and I wont hate it as much.. :laugh:0 -
OMG! Back fat is horrid! I have lost 4 inches from my rib cage and I still have a few inches to lose. Unfortunately, as previously mentioned, you cannot spot reduce. But luckily fat usually disappears from the top down. For me I have no problem loosing off my upper half, but my butt/hip fat is pretty resilient lol0

You have to lose the weight. I fooled myself for years thinking it was a condition..like it couldnt' be that I had to lose weight. But yeah...when I did lose 30 pounds it was gone. Horrible when you gain weight in your back and you can't see it and you think you look fine until you see a pic of yourself ... rude awakening! lol0

Reverse flies with light weights and reverse crunches on the stability ball. REVERSE CRUCNH: With your feet against the wall, hip width apart, lay your stomach on a stability ball. Put your hands lightly behind your head and crunch up using your back muscles. This is a great move for the entire back.
If you want to tone the back of your arms, tricep kickbacks and tricep dips on a chair are my favorite.
You can't spot reduce but you can definitely tone!! : ) Hope this helps.0 -
