We typically do exercises only to shrink our middle, aka 100 sit ups! :-)
The back muscles are often forgotten about.
There are 3 exercises that are great for strengthening the back muscles and therefore melting off the back fat.
--Work on your glutes. They are connected to the back muscles. Here is a picture of the exercise. Alternate lifting each leg up. Do them as long as you can until you get fatigued. Rest for 4minutes and do 1 more set.
--Side hold. This is where you are really working your core from a different angle. This angle works the obliques or the side muscles that wrap around to tone your waist. Just hold this position for as long as you can and then roll over and do it on the other side.
--The Back Arch hold. Lay on your stomach, arms above your head, then lift up
your arms and legs at the same time then back down to the floor in a lying down position. Do it 12-15 times. Rest and repeat.
In Health,
