Worried about back fat? No matter where it is, fat is fat and one of the only ways to get rid of fat is by burning more calories than you consume. Then, to start building muscle tone you can also do back exercises. So while you get in the groove of burning more calories a quick fix for back fat: Stand up straight. When you stand up straight, you look about 10 pounds lighter.

I used to have major back fat, especially by my middle. I started running and it really helped. You are so right about burning more calories.
1Fit could you post some good back exercises?
2I thought you were going to say standing up straight BURNS calories and I was all
..
but then I saw it only makes you appear thinner.. dangit 
hahahaha
3hahaa... if only standing up straight burned calories... i'd have the best posture out there!
4FIT_ could you please post some good back exercises? I'd really appreciate it!
5I HATE my back fat! I workout and it doesn't go away! HELP!
6ha, ha! back fat...that just sounds funny to me for some reason. I don't think it looks very funny though...
7i hate back fat... esp when it gets smushed by my bra... can you post some good exercises???
8Push-ups are great for your back! Also, I heard if you do them the "easy" way, on your knees rather than toes, this helps builds your abs. Rows are good too. Sit down on a bench with a dumbbell in each hand, arms extended at your sides, bend at the hips and pull your arms all the way up as you squeeze your back muscles. They start out easy but get tough!
9Is there anything like a 12-step program for working towards good posture? Everyday I have goals of maintaining good posture, even if it's just for 10 minutes every hour... but after 1 minute of sitting up straight, I forget what I'm doing.
10Hi, I sent you an e-mail regarding this same topic, even though you gave me great advise, pilates classes are not offered in my gym. I try to do a lot of light weights, but its only building my middle back and not the sides. Its horrible, every time I wear a tank top or a semi-thight shirt the fat just stick its ugly face out. Please help me!! Im so desperate that im considering lipo!
11You will always get the Truth from me!
Is it possible that your bra is just too tight?
12Not really, I wear them pretty loose!
13You will always get the Truth from me!
Darn. That would've been an easy fix.
