Exercises that focus on toning the muscles of the back, such as the latissimus dorsi, can help to reduce bulges and lumps under the bra band.
5 Moves to Combat the Bra Bulge and Tone Your Back

The more toned your back is, the less fat you'll have there and the less likely the skin and fat are to push out from under your bra.

What Causes Bra Bulge?

A few things can cause or contribute to bra bulge. Some of these factors are easy enough to fix, others might require more time and effort to correct.

You're probably well aware of the importance of wearing a bra that fits. Poorly fitting bras don't give you the support you need and can cause extreme discomfort. A bra that's too tight can also cause bra bulge. A too-tight band will push skin and fat outward, creating lumps and bumps under your top.

There are cases when even a well-fitted bra can lead to bulging skin and fat. If you have fatty deposits near the breasts or on the upper back, they are likely to push out when you wrap a bra around them. The same is true if you have loose or sagging skin in the upper body.

Tips to a Bulge-free Back

After your cardio sessions, hit the weights. Try these five exercises by completing 3 sets of 10 reps for each exercise, and then proceed to the next.

DO THIS THREE TIMES:

  • 10 pullups
  • 10 bent-over dumbbell rows
  • 10 inverted row
  • 10 Pilates overhead press
  • 10 arm slides

Saying goodbye to stubborn back fat isn't a quick fix, but the results can be a spring time joy after you unveil your newly toned muscles.

We wish you could I spot reduce everything that peeks out from around your bra, but it's just not possible! To tone all the areas your bra touches and reduce overall fat, it also takes a well-balanced diet and regular cardio.
