Get rid of your back bulge around the bra area or muffin top with these effective moves.

Back bulge around the bra area and that pesky muffin top plague plenty of women, and there are lots of ways to feel more confident in your own skin with a little extra effort. Spot-reducing doesn't work — but these healthy tips can help you achieve the results you're after!

Bump Up Your Cardio

If you're serious about getting rid of fat, you've got to start getting serious about cardio. According to the USDA, you should perform 60-minute sessions five times a week to really notice a difference.

For even more-intense cardio, opt for interval training that alternates between periods of pushing your body and recovery, since it offers the afterburn effect. This means that after you exercise, your body can burn more calories — an extra 200 calories throughout the day, even at rest or sleep — than you would after completing a steadily paced workout.

Tone It Up

Add moves that sculpt your back, shoulders, and obliques to reveal the strong muscles that lie beneath. Posture-improving exercises can also do wonders! Here are some workouts to add to your routine:
