Hello! Do any of you have any suggestions for exercises that help tone/get rid of/wipe out under the bra fat? That's the key area I am struggling with right now. I am doing at least 5 days of cardio each week (about 1.5 hours each day) but it's not really showing any sign of helping that area. I'm assuming I need some strength training, so any suggestions will be great! Thanks :)

    It's just fat (I have it too). Whatever will take off fat should help reduce it.

    I remember my gym trainer making me do lat pull downs and shoulder abductions with small weights to tone my upper chest for my wedding dress to look good, so maybe you could try them?

    Push ups, lat pulls, rows, chest flys. Work both front and back. Work shoulders, arms and abs too...it all helps.

    If you do Push-ups, Dips, Chin ups and Pull ups until muscle failure once to twice a week it will help significantly. Do 6-7 reps at a time. If you can't do Dips, Chin ups and Pull ups on your own use the machine that adds weight to help you not have to pull/dip all your body weight. As for Push-ups try different variations of push-ups. Wide arm, Diamond, Regular, feet together, feet apart. Also if you can't do regular push ups start on your knees. To get stronger push up and off the ground almost like you are doing clap push ups but don't clap. At first you won't be able to do many but you will notice after adding them into your workout you will be able to do more regular push ups. Also if you start doing light weight and more repitions in back work outs you will get tone and not huge muscles. Hope this helps!

    Thank you for the suggestions! I'll add some strength training to my current (all cardio) routine. I'm on Level 1, Day 6 of 30 Day Shred, so hopefully I will see some of those results by the time I'm finished with it, too! :)
