DOLCE LIFESTYLE:
5 Moves to Banish Back Fat
by Samantha Coogan, MS, RDN, LD
1. Negative Pull-Ups
Use a box or step to hoist your chin over the bar, then SLOWLY lower yourself to the point that your arms are fully extended.
2. Perfect Push-Ups
Set up with your feet together and your hands about shoulder width. Try to keep your body as tight as possible as you lower your body and push back up.
3. Jump Rope
Great for the shoulders, which is all part of the back.
4. Rowing Machine
This move perfectly targets the back, and for a greater back workout, increase the damper to somewhere between 8 and 10 to really engage those muscles.
5. Renegade Row
Start in a plank position with dumbbells in each hand. Keeping the body tight, pull one arm back at a time in a rowing movement, then place it back on the floor and alternate to the other arm.
