Exercises that destroy localized fat

Bet on modalities that, together, make the caloric expenditure greater. It can be a combination of 20 minutes of aerobics – such as rowing, treadmill or transport – and, right after, a specific weight training session for the pectoral and dorsal muscles, such as:

straight crucifix: lying on the floor, begin the exercise with your arm extended in front of your body, holding a pair of weights. She opens her arms slowly, bringing the weights towards the floor, and returns to the starting position. Do 3 sets of 15 repetitions.

Push ups: in a four-support position, with knees on the floor and arms extended beside the pectorals, make the movement to lower and raise the body, with the elbow forming a 90 degree angle. Do 3 sets of 15 repetitions.

Rowing with weight: Place one hand on the back of a chair and hold a weight with the other. Extend your arm towards the floor and come up, flexing your elbow, with your hand passing close to your torso. Remember to keep the elbow closed. Do 3 sets of 15 repetitions.

genetic problem

The famous folds on the back – above or below the bra – and the accumulation of fat in different parts of the body can be the result of genetic inheritance, poor diet and also be linked to hormonal factors. Therefore, to monitor your health in general, it is important to control estrogen and progesterone levels. In the period of puberty, pregnancy and menopause you can control it through blood tests.
