MNAG- no worries, i say back fat, too. back extensions are great for the lower back. If you prop yourself up against a wall with your feet, leabning face down over a stability ball, you can lift your chest and hold it for a few counts and then release. do that a few times, and youll feel it burn. thereare a lot of variations of that exercise you can do, but beyond that, cardio is the way to go. its excess fat around your middle, so youll have to burn it off.

hey kelly,

what are the best exercises for the lower back (i hesitate to say it, because it sounds ugly…but specifically lower back fat). this seems to be a problem area for many women, like myself.

are there any exercises i can do at home? so far, i have just tried pilates moves (like the “swimming move”).

thanks for your advice!

Thank you SO MUCH for this. I’m in the exact same situation, and this helped me a lot.

Marcy- (i didnt finish my thought) if your legs dont wobble, your stability is better-your muscles are stronger. Then, you need to find another way to stimulate them.

regular lunges with more weight work the same muscles, but harder. on an unstable service you are recruiting different motor units to help you balance- it works MORE muscles.
