How To Lose A Fat Back & Get Rid Of Bra Overhang

Do you know somebody with a fat back?

Maybe a friend, a colleague; or do you have a fat back?

Bra overhang and fat back unfortunately go hand This not only looks unsightly but can also lead to reduced self esteem. The fashion industry, notoriously fickle. does little to address this problem, offering low back dresses and tops, sheer blouses that show every bulge, in plus sizes, irrespective of how unsuitable they may turn out to be for the wearer.

Aerobic Exercise

Aerobic exercises will improve the overall appearance by creating a calorific deficit:

Swimming is an ideal form of aerobic exercise, styles such as front crawl and butterfly stroke are particularly good for strengthening the back muscles.

Skipping is another great way to exercise. Effective, inexpensive and accessible.

Diet

Spot reduction of fat is impossible to achieve. Where you lose it from first is largely determined by genes;

Consume fewer calories than you burn off and you WILL LOSE FAT

Eat a well balance diet, preferably low fat with plenty of fruit and vegetables.

Toning

Toning, changes the composition of the back, from lose fat to lean muscle.

Try these simple exercises that can be done in the home

Bent Over Row

Stand with feet shoulder width apart and a weight in each hand to the front of the body.
Lean slightly forward at the waist, with knees slightly bent.

Bending the elbows bring the weights up to the chest then return to starting position.

Repeat 10-20 times. Aim to keep your body motion to a minimum

Boxers Jab

Stand with feet shoulder width apart and arms bent at elbows in front of face. Make a fist with your hands. Jab with left hand, sharp movement, no jerking or swinging, just flexing. Repeat twenty times then change arms. Remember to keep the jabbing upper arm close to the body.

Targeting the back muscles ensures that when the fat back has diminished and eventually disappeared you are left with a well toned sensuous back.

Posture

Good posture will make you look and feel better regardless of your shape or size. Slouching rounds the shoulders, causing the bra back band to rise, emphasising bra overhang and back fat. Strengthening tummy and back muscles will aid good posture, increase your confidence and make walking tall so much easier.

Clothing

Bras

To minimise a fat back and bra overhang, make a good fitting bra your best friend.

90% of the support is in the back band, therefore if it is too slack it will not support the breasts and impede good posture. Alternatively if it is too tight even the smallest amount of fat will be made visible. Try out one of a new range of bras made of gossamer (the fabric used for panty hose tops) which mould with the body and minimiise fat backs and bra overhang.

Dresses

Bustier type tops are by design tight fitting under the arms and around the chest and back. Avoid wearing this style until your exercise and diet programme is well under way.

Sheer Tops

Try wearing a camisole top underneath. This will appear just as feminine and you wont have to worry about back fat.

Vest Tops

With built in cups and support that allow you to go bra less are a great way to eliminate additional problems that bras bring to back fat.

Fat back and bra overhang plague many women-that is, until they do something about it.

Exercise, diet posture and a decent bra will work wonders in the short term and especially in the long term.
