A routine to strengthen the back and burn localized fat

Position 1

Back against back fat

You have to use a yoga mat, lie on your stomach, extend your arms forward (or back). Then, without lifting your feet, arch your back by lifting it gently before returning to the starting position. So do 2 sets and 10 repetitions

Position 2

Stay in the same position. But this time place your hands on the back of your neck, lift your torso and come back to the starting position. This time, do 2 sets of 15 reps.

Position 3

Do the same exercise as before. However, instead of arching your back back, arch it to one side and then the other. A bit like looking to the left and then to the right. Always keep the rest of your body straight.

Position 4

Now get on all fours. Relax your back, arch it up as much as possible (like cats do). Then push it down, as if you want to touch the floor with your abdomen. Go up and down 5 times before resting.

Go swimming

Swimming is a sport that allows you to work your back, relaxes it and allows you to exercise it. This exercise is therefore ideal for losing fat in the back and strengthening it.

Train with weights

A good way to burn fat should always include a little workout routine with weights.

Indeed, weights will allow you to work your muscle mass. At the same time, they activate your metabolism to facilitate the elimination of fat, even when you are at rest.

So you just need to include a little weight training every other day. You don’t need to lift excessive weights, a few pounds will do.

Do cardio intervals

Run

Cardiovascular exercise raises your heart rate and helps you burn calories more easily.

Introduce intervals of cardio exercises into your routine. This will facilitate the elimination of fat in that part of your body.

You can perform exercises such as running, jumping, with an elliptical machine, cycling and / or jumping rope.

Do sit-ups

We know that the abdominals mainly focus on the fat in our stomachs. However, they also help eliminate fat in the lower back.

Exercise all of the abs, focusing on the obliques. You can do side sit-ups and static oblique stretches for your exercises.
