Can you reach around to your back and squeeze a little pudge under your bra band? That’s back fat. It’s not only annoying, but also shows up as bulgy back fat when you’re wearing a tight sweater, shirt, or dress, and your bra is tightly clasped. You can stand up straight with shoulders back and suck in your belly, but unfortunately, that won’t hide the back fat.

Fortunately, you can blast this back area (and bra fat) by doing a mix of cardio workouts—we recommend HIIT (high-intensity interval workouts)—and strength-training exercises that will define your back muscles. Bringing sexy back is possible! Start with these back exercises from trainers designed to target bra back fat. Pair it with a clean eating plan, HIIT, and plenty of water and sleep, and you’ll be on your way to looking sexy in backless dresses and shirts by spring.
