3. Workout At Home:

There are several exercises which can be done for strengthening the back and which do not need any special equipment.

• You can tie a resistance-band to the door knob and then just shut the door & keep a chair two feet away from it. Hold its ends and bend your elbow at ninety degrees. Now gently pull your arm backwards, pushing your shoulders together. Stay in this position for ten seconds & release. Repeat this motion ten times.
• Sit on the floor & then stretch your legs. Stretch your both arms to the sides. Twist towards the right side of the body while breathing out. Now twist in the same way to the left side.
• The lower back extension targets the lower part of the back and helps in reducing the fat.
• To start with, lie on the floor flat. Now place both the hands at the back of your head and try lifting your chest far away from the ground. Just 3 sets of this exercise will be a good start.
• With a bridge, lie flat on the floor on your back. Now bend both your knees at 90 degrees, keeping both your feet on the floor. Now lift your butt till the time your back comes in a straight line just like a bridge. Keeping your butt upwards hold it for at least fifteen seconds & then lower your body slowly on the floor. Try this at least ten to twenty times.

Low Calorie Food:

Cut the daily intake of your calories. Calories are the main culprit in enhancing body fat. By cutting down at least 500 calories per day and exercising regularly, you will be able to lose good one pound of fat each week.

Tuck into proteins, low-fat milk and yogurt, low-fat cottage cheese and low-calorie food, like brown rice, oatmeal, zucchini, cauliflower, asparagus, chickpeas, fava beans, lentils and watermelon. You can make low-cal food more interesting by preparing:

• Smoothies
• Salads
• Homemade breakfast cereal
• Soups

Also keep in mind that just cutting the amount of calories from your diet will not help you in losing weight. Cardio as well as back strengthening exercises have to be combined with the low-cal diet to tone the muscles of your back and get rid of upper back fat.

Tips:

• Losing those extra pounds is completely in your own hands. You can pick any cardio activity which you enjoy doing the most.
• While lifting the weights, you can start with light weights and perform reps which you can do comfortably.
