Fat Roll under Breast

QUESTION:

After two kids I gained quite a bit of weight, I have (over the last year) lost most of it. I am working out at the gym to tone up. I have like I guess a roll right uder my breast.. What exercises can I do to get rid of it?

ANSWER:

It sounds like your excess body fat is being stored upper abdomen which is very common.  Most people misunderstand fat distribution.  Depending on your genetic fat distribution but most people have "problem areas" which are the areas which their genetics determines where they store the majority of the fat.  This does not mean there is still not excess fat stored around the rest of your body.

By "working out in the gym" you've taken a step in the right direction.  There is no specific exercise you can do to spot-reduce fat you just simply need to perform your cardio 3-5x per week and eat a healthy diet.  If you really want to ramp up the intensity to speed up results, you can perform combination exercises which work multiple muscle groups.
