    If you are implying you've got fat on your back then cardio-vascular work and calorie-counting is the only way. If you're lean and not seeing any definition, then try deadlifts.

    If you search "you can't spot-reduce fat" on here, you'll get a million posts. ;)

    Okay, I can see how the deadlifts can work.. but how heavy should a girl start with? Also, I'm trying to tone, not build muscle.

    To work your lower back directly.. do good mornings with weights or hyperextensions..

    The big movements like Squats and Deadlifts will obviously all help too.

    "Toning" just means either building muscle, or losing fat to reveal the muscle underneath. Unfortunately there is no exercise that will make you specifically lose fat in that one area. A calorie deficit (and strength training will definitely help with that) will help you to lose fat. You just have to hope it comes off where you want it to.

    It is a big misconception that lifting will build bunches of muscle and, in women, that is just not the case. You will get definition in your muscles but, not BULK up!!
