Banishing Back Bulge

Most people complain of bulging bellies and buttocks, but there are just as many individuals who are self conscious about back fat. Unfortunately, like its stubborn counterparts, there isn’t one specific exercise that will make it go away.

According to fitness experts, when it comes to storing fat, our bodies dictate where it accumulates. Even more disheartening is the fact that there is no way to spot reduce these fatty areas. Basically, banishing back fat can only be accomplished by combining cardiovascular exec rise with a healthy diet, and strength training.

An effective fitness regime includes fat burning exercises, a diet that contains less than 2,000 calories and consistent weight training. Simply put, you need to eat less and exercise more to promote overall weight loss. Doing so will help eliminate back bulge.

Another way to accelerate weight loss is to incorporate interval training into your exercise regimen. Interval training is a great way to spice up your fitness routine and safely increase your intensity at the same time. To get started with interval training simply increase the pace of your workouts to an intensity that you can only maintain for one minute. Then, slow down for three to five minutes, and repeat four to five more times.

In addition to aerobic activity, you’ll need to add strength training exercises that target back muscles to eliminate unsightly bulge. Weight training will tone your back muscles and minimize flab. Another option is to participate in Yoga and Pilates, both of which strengthen core muscles, while burning calories.

Interestingly, studies show that back fat is not nearly as bad for you as belly bulge. According to fitness experts, fatty tissue on the back area is much less concerning than fat in the abdominal region, which puts you at a greater risk for diabetes and heart disease.
