BACK FAT WORKOUTS

Are you looking to get rid of back fat? If so, you're in luck! Shapeez bras are the solution!  We have cleverly designed a bra with the perfect amount of support for sizes 32A to 46E without a traditional elastic band. 

If your bra has an elastic band you will see bra bulges. 

Although no amount of diet and exercise will eliminate the bra bulge, below are the best upper body exercises to build strength in your upper body, which is so important as we age.

  • Biceps curl - To do a biceps curl with a dumbbell, hold a dumbbell with your palm facing upward. Slowly curl the weight up by bending your elbow, keeping your elbow close to your body. Then slowly lower the weight to the starting position. You'll feel tension in the muscles in the front of your upper arm.

  • Shoulder press

  • Pushups - Start in a plank position: Place your hands on the ground, shoulder-width apart or slightly wider, and your feet hip-width apart. Engage your core: Draw your belly button in and squeeze your glutes. Lower your body: Bend your elbows to lower your body toward the ground, keeping your body in a straight line. Your elbows should be at a 45-degree angle.

  • Bench press - Hold the weight directly over the shoulders, arms slightly wider than shoulder height. Push the weight up until your arms are angled at 45 degrees at the top. Slowly lower the weight back down to chest height, elbows out to the sides. Repeat the press and perform around 5 reps or more.

  • Bent-over row -Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend at the hips while keeping your back straight and knees slightly bent. Grip the bar with your palms facing your shins, a little wider than shoulder width. Tighten your core and glutes. Pull your elbows up behind you, bringing the bar to your abs. Hold for a second, then slowly lower the bar back to the starting position. Repeat 6–12 times, for 3 sets

  • Dips -Ensure you lean forward as you lower yourself so that your elbows don't flare out. Break parallel, so that your upper arms and shoulder dip just below your elbows. Don't go too much further, or you risk hurting yourself. Push back up, in one explosive movement.

  • Dumbbell row -Stand with dumbbells in each hand, feet shoulder-width apart, and arms relaxed at your sides. Hinge at your hips to create a 60-degree angle. Keep your back flat and core engaged. Pull the dumbbells up and back, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Keep your elbows close to your body. Lower the dumbbells back down with control.
