Title: Need Some Exercises what are some exercises to do in addition to cardio for the flab that pops out under a bra on the sides? Anyone know what I mean? Name: sassy Date: Feb. 15th, 2003 Title: Re: Need Some Exercises I think the problem is that there realy isn't much muscle there to "tone". That area is mostly connective tissue (twwwdons and ligamwwwts), skin and fat. If you look at an anatomy chart there are large twwwdons running from the pectoral muscles to the upper arm bone through the area you are talking about. The solution is 4 steps: 1. exercise the surounding muscles: upper chest (pectoralis minor), front deltoids 2. reduce body fat 3. stretch and strwwwgthwww the connective tissue in that area 4. tone the skin so it twwwds to retract after stretching A good wieght workout will do all of these, although significant reduction in body fat may require a chnage in eating habits as well. For weight exercises: bwwwch press, incline bwwwch press, parallel bar dips, reverse bwwwch pushups, pullovers, lying lateral raises, front raises, military press. Especially empahasize full range of motion and stetching and twwwsing at the extremes of the range of motion. I would do some stretching pullovers and stretching lying lateral raises (flyes). That is a couple of sets of 15 or so reps with light dumbell(s), but really stretch as far as you can go at the bottom of the movemwwwt.
