What Causes Bra Fat? (And How to Get Rid of It!)

Before we dive into the workout, let’s quickly break down why bra fat happens:

Lack of Muscle Tone – Your back, shoulders, and arms need strength training to stay firm and sculpted.
Poor Posture – Rounded shoulders and weak upper back muscles can exaggerate the appearance of bra bulge.
Overall Body Fat Percentage – Spot reduction isn’t possible, but combining strength and cardio will help you burn fat while toning up.

The good news? A focused workout routine can help smooth and strengthen this area while boosting your posture and confidence!

The Ultimate Bra Fat Workout (No Gym Required!)

Do this workout 3-4 times per week, and pair it with overall movement (like walking, stretching, and full-body workouts) for the best results.

💡 Tip: For extra resistance, use a resistance band or light weights!

#1 Reverse Flys (Targets Upper Back & Shoulders)

  • Stand with a slight bend in your knees, hinge forward at your hips.
  • Hold light weights (or water bottles), arms slightly bent, palms facing each other.
  • Raise your arms outward to shoulder height, squeeze your shoulder blades together.
  • Lower slowly. Repeat 12x.

#2 Wall Angels (Improves Posture & Strengthens Upper Back)

  • Stand with your back against a wall, feet a few inches away.
  • Press your lower back, shoulders, and head against the wall.
  • Raise your arms into a “goal post” position, then extend them overhead.
  • Lower back down. Repeat 10x.

#3 Push-Ups (Tones Chest, Arms, and Upper Back)

  • Start in a high plank or knee plank position.
  • Lower your chest toward the ground while keeping your elbows at a 45-degree angle.
  • Press back up to the start. Repeat 10x.

#4 Superman Lifts (Strengthens Upper & Lower Back)

  • Lie on your stomach, arms extended forward.
  • Lift your arms, chest, and legs off the ground simultaneously.
  • Hold for 2 seconds, then lower. Repeat 12x.

#5 Shoulder Blade Squeeze (Fixes Rounded Shoulders)

  • Sit or stand tall, pull your shoulder blades back and down.

Bonus: Add a 5-minute jump rope or high-knee session to boost fat-burning!
