Back fat

Try Pilate's. If you have netflix you have access to several videos. Cans of food can be used as weights. Although a pair of 3lb weight will only set you back $8. The other thing to try is you tube. There are all sorts of videos. Start with a back extension. Or look for back toning videos. Good luck sweetie. You are kicking button.

My mom was part of a paddling club when she was younger, I think she did dragon boat racing... and she said when she was paddling, you couldn't even pitch her back, there was nothing to grab!

You can't "spot" reduce. You have to lose fat all over through aerobic activities. If you build the muscle underneath it will still be covered by the fat. As you get closer to your goal you won't likely see anymore 'back fat'. Congrats on your weight loss so far.

Congratulations on the weight loss! It sounds like you're doing the right things. One thing that gives me a fabulous overall workout is dancing, especially if you get your arms involved and get your whole body moving. I do this at home with favorite music, or go out to a bar with live music at night. It usually doesn't matter, as long as there are people dancing, you don't need a partner. It's hard to tell who is dancing with who. Just get up an dance. The places where I live don't charge a cover, and I just ask for water at the bar and leave a tip. They don't charge for a glass of ice water. Cheap exercise, and very social.

Hey guys,

I started out my journey at 200 pounds and as of today, I'm 166.4. Everything seems to be getting smaller, but I feel as though I have an abnormal amount of fat on my back. I can't afford a gym and am not able to purchase any weights, so I need some assistance on how I can build muscle on my back to rid myself of my gross flab. Currently I do some ab work such as bicycle crunches and leg lifts, then I do push ups, I also do squats and lunges, but I'm not too sure what else I can do for my back.. I'm also wondering what to do with my arms. Any tips would be awesome!

You can add things like push-ups for your back, but it won't displace the back fat. You will lose the back fat right along with everything else. I wish there was a way to spot reduce! :-)

Monstergirl: I wish I could swap you, I carry all mine on the frount

It's just genetics, as the others have said keep losing and it will all come good with time.

BEFORE I even read all the replies I want to thank you soooooo much for posting this! All my life Ive had back boobs and never had the gumption to ask more than a few close friends what to do about it. (which never helped in the first place) Your question is greatly appreciated!

weights are cheap, if you need cheap, and expensive if you have money to spend. How, you ask?

1 oz of water = 1 ounce (yeah, sure seems obvious, right?)

a gallon jug of water = 128 oz = 8 pounds. You could buy a gallon of water, or reuse a milk jug.

a case of coke (12 pack) is 144 oz ( 9 pounds) and a 24 pack is 18 pounds. (well, less for diet coke which floats in water, and more for regular, give or take, but hey) (hey, off brand works too, 2~3 bucks for a 9 pound weight, double that to have one for each arm, isn't that bad) (hint, buy the noncarbonated stuff, so if it drops (or when) its still good to drink ( or give the kids to drink. Like sunny D...)

of course, you can buy a 5 gallon jug of water weighs 40 pounds, and is just a few bucks too...

a bottle of soda (or water, but some sodas have bottles that are easier to hold on to) make decent starter weights, 16 oz = 1 pound, then move up to 20 oz then 1 litre bottles (2#) and 2 litre bottles, etc...
