The back, as well as the thighs and abdomen, are one of the ares most prone to accumulate fat. This causes those annoying rolls to form, that some people frequently call “chubby”. Not only are they not very attractive, but they are also often time very difficult to eliminate, and could really spoil your neckline.
If you have fat rolls on your back and you want to use a low cut shirt for a party, at the beach, or during a normal day, do not give up. These tips can help you eliminate or reduce them as much as possible if your party is coming up. You will see that with a few simple tips and a lot of willpower, you will be able to show off any neckline you like, and will feel secure in yourself, which means…sensual.
Below, we will give you an exercise routine that will only take 15 minutes a day and will help you to begin reducing accumulated fat in this area. If you are a beginner, and you have never done these types of exercises, reduce the sets and repetitions in half. You could ask someone to hold your legs to make it easier.

Strengthening routine for the back, and to prevent “fat rolls”:
1. Lumbar exercise #1: lay facing down on a yoga mat. Place your arms stretched out in front, and then, without raising your legs, lift your back, arching it and then returning to your original position. Do two sets of 10 repetitions.
2. Lumbar exercise #2: in this same position, place your hand on your neck and raise your torso. Return to your initial position. Do 2 sets of 15 reps.
3. Lumbar exercise #3: Do the same exercise as before, but this time, rather than arching your back behind, arch towards one side and then the other, as if you were trying to look behind your right side, and then your left. Do 2 sets of 10 reps.
4. Now, get on all fours (tabletop position) and relax your back, arching it upwards as much as you can (like an angry cat). Then, push downwards (as if you were trying to touch your abdomen to the ground). Raise and lower 5 times.
